Bedstemoderen og den lille abate 1880s

"Bedstemoderen og den lille abate" (The Grandmother and the Little Abbot), created in the 1880s by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff (1820-1902), depicts a domestic scene with a grandmother and a young boy. The print is housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and measures 287 mm in height by 400 mm in width. The artist's portrayal of this everyday moment in a simple, almost melancholic, way reflects the genre of realism, which was popular in the 19th century. The careful detail and natural lighting create a sense of intimacy and realism within the scene.
