Mergling af Vallekilde præstegårdsmark, i baggrunden Hankehøj 1846

"Mergling af Vallekilde præstegårdsmark, i baggrunden Hankehøj" (1846) by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818-1848) is a captivating oil painting depicting a rural scene. The artwork showcases Lundbye's talent for capturing the essence of Danish landscapes. The composition features a group of people tending to a field, with horses and farm tools scattered across the foreground. The background depicts a distant hill, adding depth and perspective to the scene. The painting's muted palette and loose brushstrokes create a sense of atmospheric realism, typical of Lundbye's style. This work is held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
