Heste i skovegn is a 1820 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows three horses standing under a large tree. The white horse in front faces the viewer, while the two darker horses stand side by side behind it. The background includes a fence, a few distant buildings, and a hazy forest. The soft lighting and dramatic contrast between light and dark give the scene a dreamy feel. This style fits the Romanticism movement, which often emphasized emotion and nature. Look up Romanticism next to see more art like this.
