Four figures watching a man wrapping a parcel 1650 - 1700

This anonymous drawing, created sometime between 1650 and 1700, depicts a scene of everyday life. Four figures, likely townspeople, watch as a man bends over to tie or wrap a package. The artist utilizes hatching and cross-hatching to create volume and dimension in the figures, giving the sketch a sense of realism despite its small size. This piece, held in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offers a glimpse into the lives of common people during the 17th century.
