Et par i en sofa, pigen sovende 1810 - 1873

"Et par i en sofa, pigen sovende" (A Couple on a Sofa, the Girl Asleep) is a pencil and watercolor sketch by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man and a woman sitting on a sofa in an interior setting. The woman is asleep, while the man appears to be looking at her. The sketch is notable for its simple composition and the artist's characteristic loose and expressive style, capturing a fleeting moment of intimacy. Marstrand's drawings often explored themes of everyday life and human relationships, making this work a compelling example of his artistic sensibility.
