"Blank side" is a blank page from a sketchbook by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, dating back to 1833. This page, a part of a larger volume, is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and reveals a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The blank page, a stark contrast to the completed drawings in the sketchbook, suggests a moment of pause, a potential starting point for a new composition. This small detail, though seemingly insignificant, offers a unique perspective on the artistic journey of Martinus Rørbye.
