Johan Thomas Lundbye belonged to the youngest generation of artists working during Denmark’s Golden Age, a period of unprecedented creative activity during the first half of the 19th century. An avid painter and draftsman, he simultaneously created more intimate prints such as this one depicting his cousin, Regine. The young girl appears knitting, surrounded by whimsical and anecdotal sketches that play on the experimentality of etching. Little Regine in Vallekilde, 1839. Johan Thomas Lundbye (Danish, 1818–1848). Etching on laid paper; platemark: 12 x cm (4 3/4 x 2 7/8 in.); sheet: x
