Jule- og nytårskort 1946

"Jule- og nytårskort" is a 1946 print by Danish artist Axel Hou (1860-1948), now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection. The print depicts a scene of a crowd gathered outside a walled city, suggesting a biblical story. The black and white tones of the print give the image a strong sense of drama and detail. The artist’s signature and a greeting are visible in the lower right corner. This small print was likely intended as a greeting card, reflecting the artist’s interest in illustrating religious themes for a broader audience.
