Billede af livet i en sjællandsk bondegård ved middagstid 1852

"Billede af livet i en sjællandsk bondegård ved middagstid" (1852) by Danish artist Peter Julius Larsen depicts a scene of everyday life on a farm in Zealand, Denmark. The painting, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into rural life, featuring a bustling courtyard with farm animals, a well, and a family going about their daily chores. Larsen's meticulous attention to detail brings the scene to life, capturing the quiet rhythms of rural existence in 19th-century Denmark. This genre painting, known as "Biedermeier," reflects the artist's focus on depicting the simple joys and domesticity of everyday life.
