Koner reder garn 1888

"Koner reder garn" (Women Hauling the Net), an 1888 etching by Carl Locher, depicts a group of women working on a beach, hauling in a fishing net. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail given to the figures' clothing and the texture of the sand. The distant boats and the cloudy sky contribute to a sense of atmosphere, suggesting a peaceful evening by the sea. This etching, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of women in 19th-century Denmark.
