Kunsthistorikeren Carl V. Petersen, siddende, med cigar 1905

This pencil sketch, created in 1905 by Danish artist Ludvig Find, depicts Carl V. Petersen, a renowned art historian. The drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures Petersen in a relaxed pose, seated in a chair, smoking a cigar. Find's expressive lines convey a sense of informality, suggesting a casual moment of contemplation, perhaps reflecting Petersen's deep engagement with the world of art. The work showcases Find's mastery of capturing the essence of his subject, creating a lasting portrait of a prominent figure in Danish art history.
