Den tørstige præst, siddende foran stående pige 1810 - 1873

"Den tørstige præst, siddende foran stående pige" (The Thirsty Priest, Sitting in Front of a Standing Girl) is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, portrays a seated man, likely a priest, holding a glass of liquid while looking at a standing woman. The casual composition and intimate subject matter highlight Marstrand's talent for capturing everyday moments with a touch of humor. This quick sketch, measuring 147 mm by 131 mm, exemplifies Marstrand's mastery of line and his keen eye for detail.
