Vinterdag 1881 - 1889

"Vinterdag" (Winter Day) is an etching by Danish artist Louise Ravn-Hansen, created between 1881 and 1889. The artwork, housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a serene winter landscape with a small cottage nestled among snow-covered trees and a snow-covered path leading to a gate. The scene is further enlivened by a flock of birds soaring through the overcast sky, adding a sense of movement to the otherwise tranquil composition. Ravn-Hansen's meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow create a captivating sense of atmosphere, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet beauty of a winter day.
