Møddingen jævnes (af kunstnerens broder) 1886

"Møddingen jævnes (af kunstnerens broder)" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Niels Bjerre, created in 1886. The artwork depicts a solitary figure working on a mound of earth, likely a burial mound being leveled. The scene is set against a vast, open landscape with a distant horizon. The figure is rendered in simple, expressive lines, highlighting the figure's connection to the land. This intimate portrayal of daily life and the cycle of nature reflects Bjerre's interest in realism, a prominent art movement in Denmark at the time. This drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's focus on the everyday world and the beauty found in ordinary moments.
