More about this artwork
"En lille pige, der har stukket sin finger på en rosentorn" (1812) by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg captures an intimate and tender moment, showcasing the artist's mastery in depicting human emotion and everyday life. This delicate drawing illustrates a young girl, her gaze lowered intently towards her finger, which she appears to have pricked on a rose thorn. The child's innocence and her soft, detailed features convey a gentle narrative of childhood's simple yet poignant moments.Eckersberg, often referred to as the father of Danish painting, excels in this work through his detailed pencil strokes and controlled shading, creating a realistic texture of the girl’s flowing dress and the rugged outdoors. The backdrop, which includes softly sketched roses and leaves, adds to the serene yet somber mood of the scene. With this artwork, Eckersberg not only presents a fleeting moment of pain but also a timeless expression of the beauty and trials found in nature's embrace.
