Peiter Beinløs 1839 - 1917

"Peiter Beinløs" is a drawing by Danish artist Hans Smidth, created sometime between 1839 and 1917. The work depicts a seated man, rendered in a loose and expressive style, with the use of brown wash and pencil lines. The subject is a portrait of a real person, a man known as "Peiter Beinløs" (Peter Legless), which suggests the artwork is a study of a specific individual from the artist's time. The drawing is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
