En herre læser højt for fem damer 1810 - 1873

"En herre læser højt for fem damer" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man reading aloud to a group of five women. Marstrand's detailed hatching technique gives the drawing a sense of depth and realism. This intimate scene captures the social dynamics of a private gathering, providing a glimpse into the lives of Danish upper-class individuals during the 19th century. The drawing's small scale (112 mm x 132 mm) further emphasizes the intimacy of the moment.
