"Bondehus ved et vand" (Farmhouse by a Pond) is a detailed etching by Danish artist A.P. Madsen, created in 1847. This small-scale print, measuring only 115 mm by 146 mm, captures the simplicity of a rural Danish landscape. The scene features a modest farmhouse with a thatched roof, situated on a gentle slope overlooking a pond. A lone tree stands to the left, providing a sense of solitude and peace. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, a testament to Madsen's skill in portraying the quiet beauty of everyday life.
