Et hus på Alheden is a 1912 oil by Hans Smidth, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a landscape with a red brick house on the right side. The house has a thatched roof and a chimney. In front of the house is a dirt road, and to the left of the road is a grassy field with a few chickens. The sky is cloudy and gray. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the textures of the house and the landscape. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the scene. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of color and texture, you might want to look up the technique of glazing.
