Efterår. Kæmpende hjorte 1842 - 1905

"Efterår. Kæmpende hjorte" (Autumn. Fighting Stags) is an etching by Danish artist Thorvald Niss. Created between 1842 and 1905, this artwork depicts a dramatic scene of two stags locked in a fierce battle within a dense forest. The use of dark, expressive lines emphasizes the struggle and the melancholic atmosphere of the scene. The print, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Niss's ability to capture the raw power of nature and the drama of animal conflict.
