Diende barn 1899

"Diende barn" (1899) is a delicate drawing by Danish artist Peter Hansen (1868-1928). Executed in black pen and ink on paper, the artwork captures a tender moment of a sleeping child, likely a baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes. The minimalist lines create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, highlighting the artist's sensitive portrayal of the subject matter. This drawing, held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Hansen's skill in capturing the essence of childhood innocence with a minimalist approach, making it a poignant and enduring piece of art.
