Et stort træ, muligvis eg 1872

"Et stort træ, muligvis eg" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, created in 1872. The drawing, part of a sketchbook, depicts a large tree, possibly an oak, with its branches reaching towards the sky. The simple yet expressive lines capture the essence of the tree's form and structure, revealing Skovgaard's keen observation of nature. This intimate study is a testament to the artist's dedication to realism and his appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. The work is currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing Skovgaard's artistic practice and the evolution of Danish landscape art.
