Painter's Mishap in Autumn — Hans Andersen Brendekilde Postcard

An artist stands on a lane in Zealand, top hat still in place, easel and paints scattered across the fallen leaves while hens carry on unbothered near the farmhouse behind him. Hans Andersen Brendekilde had a gentle sense of humor about the working painter's life, and this small comic scene sits easily alongside his more solemn rural work — the mood is warm, more shrug than disaster.

A postcard for anyone who paints, sketches, or has ever dropped something they were carrying and had to just stand there and look at it.
