Akershus-fæstningen 1832

"Akershus-fæstningen" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye from 1832. The artwork depicts the Akershus Fortress in Oslo, Norway, from a distance, with a small boat and a man fishing in the foreground. Rørbye, known for his meticulous and detailed depictions of Danish landscapes and cityscapes, captures the fortress's imposing architecture and its setting along the Oslofjord. This drawing, part of a sketchbook, offers a glimpse into Rørbye's artistic process and his keen observation of everyday life in the 19th century.
