Trægruppe 1906

"Trægruppe" (Group of Trees) is a 1906 pencil drawing by Danish artist Christian Kongstad Petersen. The work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a cluster of trees in a loose, gestural style. Petersen's use of shading and line creates a sense of depth and movement, capturing the natural forms of the trees and surrounding foliage. The drawing's simple subject and expressive technique exemplify the artistic trends of the early 20th century, where a focus on observation and capturing fleeting moments became paramount.
