Børnene ved vinduet 1900

"Børnene ved vinduet" (Children by the Window) is a 1900 etching by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard. The artwork, now located at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts two children looking out a window onto a snowy landscape. Skovgaard's use of dark, stark lines and the small size of the etching create a sense of intimacy and isolation, reflecting the children's quiet observation of the world outside. This work is characteristic of Skovgaard's style, known for its realism and attention to detail.
