"Pigen i vinduet" (The Girl in the Window) is an etching created by Danish artist Joel Ballin between 1822 and 1885. The artwork depicts a young woman gazing out of a window, her hand resting on the sill. Ballin's work is known for its detailed rendering and evocative use of light and shadow. This piece is a fine example of Ballin's mastery of etching, capturing the delicate features of the girl and the textures of the stone and wood around her. The artwork is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
