Slædekørsel med rensdyr 1842

This detailed wood engraving titled "Slædekørsel med rensdyr" (Reindeer Sledding) was created in 1842 by Danish artist H.C. Henneberg. The small but intricate artwork, measuring only 37mm by 94mm, depicts a scene of reindeer pulling a sled through a snowy landscape. The composition focuses on the reindeer, their antlers and harness meticulously rendered, emphasizing the strength and vitality of these animals. This is a classic example of Henneberg's work, known for his detailed illustrations often depicting nature and wildlife in a realistic and intimate style. The engraving is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
