"Borgruin ved en flod" (Castle Ruin by a River), an etching by Danish artist Peter Christian Schøler, depicts a picturesque scene of a ruined castle overlooking a tranquil river. Schøler, known for his romantic landscapes, captured the beauty of the crumbling structure against a backdrop of lush greenery and a soft, cloudy sky. The work, created between 1803 and 1835, is held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and measures 370 mm x 303 mm. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time, reflecting a common theme in Romantic art.
