Illustration til Ludvig Holbergs "Den Stundesløse" 1784

This etching by Frederik Ludvig Bradt, titled "Illustration til Ludvig Holbergs "Den Stundesløse", depicts a scene from Ludvig Holberg's play "The Absent-Minded". Created in 1784, it shows four figures in an interior setting, likely a drawing room, engaged in a conversation. The detailed composition, including the furniture and drapery, reflects the prevailing Rococo style of the period. This work, now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Bradt's contribution to the art of book illustration in 18th-century Denmark.
