Udsigt mod italiensk bjerglandsby 1864 - 1867

"Udsigt mod italiensk bjerglandsby" (View towards Italian mountain village) is a pencil sketch by Danish artist L.A. Schou. Completed between 1864 and 1867, this small-scale work, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, captures a glimpse of an Italian village nestled within mountainous terrain. Schou's delicate, light lines depict the village, with the artist's signature, if present, remaining visible. This sketch, likely a study for a larger work, showcases Schou's keen eye for detail and his preference for capturing the essence of a landscape.
