"KavdlunâKarfik Sisimiut" (1875) is a lithograph by Danish artist Lars Møller (1842-1926) depicting the trading post at Sisimiut, Greenland. The detailed black and white image shows a collection of simple wooden buildings against the dramatic backdrop of a mountain range with a waterfall cascading down its side. Møller's work captures a moment in Greenland's history, showcasing the Danish colonial presence in the region and highlighting the stark beauty of the Arctic landscape. The piece, currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a valuable historical record of Greenland's settlement and the influence of European trade in the 19th century.
