Liste over vinduer (?) i en bygning, fortsat fra side 16 1825 - 1826

Martinus Rørbye made this page from a sketchbook, titled *Liste over vinduer (?) i en bygning, fortsat fra side 16,* using graphite. The page is dominated by text in a cursive hand, organized in a list-like structure that creates a rhythmic, almost musical pattern across the surface. The graphite lines vary in weight and density, hinting at the artist's subtle shifts in pressure and speed. This textural variation transforms simple writing into a field of visual interest, engaging us beyond the literal meaning of the words. A small, schematic drawing punctuates the text. This interplay between text and image challenges traditional notions of representation and communication. The drawing disrupts the linear flow of the text, creating a visual dissonance. Rørbye prompts us to consider how art can destabilize established categories of language and image and to find unexpected harmony in their juxtaposition.
