Jomfrurosen 1862

"Jomfrurosen" (1862) by Adolph Kittendorff is a delicate black and white drawing depicting a woman standing in an interior, seemingly lost in thought. The woman is positioned near a window with a small potted plant, while a piano and stool occupy the foreground. The composition focuses on the woman's figure, emphasizing her solitude and introspective nature, hinting at a melancholic mood. The detailed rendering of the room and its elements creates a sense of realism and intimacy, inviting the viewer to contemplate the woman's inner world. The drawing is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
