Vignet til Vilhelm Bergsøes Digt "Uglens Dom" 1870 - 1874

"Vignet til Vilhelm Bergsøes Digt "Uglens Dom" is an 1870-1874 etching by an anonymous artist, depicting an owl perched on a branch. The owl is depicted with a surprised expression, seemingly reacting to a small bird below, which is partially obscured by the branch. The work, with its detailed lines and delicate rendering of the bird, is typical of the artist's style, which combined realism with expressive detail, and could be classified as a vignette, illustrating the poem "Uglens Dom" by Vilhelm Bergsøe. It is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark. The work measures 167 mm (height) x 127 mm (width). "
