Siddende ung dalkarl 1851

"Siddende ung dalkarl" (Sitting Young Dalkarl) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created in 1851. It depicts a young man in traditional clothing, seated with one leg crossed. The detail in the clothing, particularly the hat with its elaborate trim, suggests Marstrand's interest in portraying the everyday life of ordinary people. This drawing, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Marstrand's skill in capturing realistic details and conveying a sense of character.
