New-Born Calf Trying to Stand Up 1909

"New-Born Calf Trying to Stand Up" is a bronze sculpture by Danish artist Anne Marie Carl Nielsen, created in 1909. The small-scale piece, measuring only 7 cm in height, depicts a calf struggling to stand, its legs awkwardly positioned and its head lowered. The rough, textured surface of the sculpture adds to the sense of the calf's vulnerability and fragility, highlighting the artist's keen observation of nature and her ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
