"Fiolen; Aftenstunden" (1845) by Adolph Kittendorff (1820-1902) is an illustrated poem from the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts a botanical illustration of a violet flower and a pastoral scene of two people standing by a fence. The text below the illustrations is in Danish and is likely part of the poem. These types of illustrated poems were popular in the 19th century. The overall style is a blend of realism and romanticism and would have appealed to both art lovers and those who enjoy poetry.
