En Amagerpige 1804

"En Amagerpige" is a portrait of a young woman from Amager, a peninsula south of Copenhagen, created in 1804 by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765-1833). The print, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the woman in profile, with a distinctive headdress, holding a bouquet of flowers. Lahde is known for his portraits of everyday people, making this work a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary Danish citizens during the early 19th century.
