Bedende italienerinde, brystbillede 1810 - 1873

"Bedende italienerinde, brystbillede" (Praying Italian Woman, Bust Portrait) is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand between 1810 and 1873. The artwork depicts a woman in a simple dress, with her hands clasped together in prayer, looking upwards with a thoughtful expression. This intimate portrait captures the essence of devotion through a refined rendering of form and expression. Marstrand’s detailed and expressive style is evident in the careful rendering of the woman's features and the delicate shading of her drapery.
