"Ulykkelige Hændelser" Nr. 1, a black and white etching by Danish artist Georg Christian Schule, is a satirical illustration created in 1787. The artwork features two figures, one with wings, holding a sword, standing in front of a large figure with a scythe. The work is part of a series that aims to satirize contemporary events in Denmark. The composition is simple yet powerful, with the central figure representing a powerful force, possibly death or fate. The small size of the artwork, 95 mm x 143 mm, suggests it was part of a publication, likely a series of satirical prints. The artwork is currently part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection in Denmark.
