Udkast til maleriet "Danske kunstnere i osteriet La Gensola i Trastevere" 1800 - 1837

This preparatory drawing by Danish artist Ditlev Blunck, titled "Udkast til maleriet 'Danske kunstnere i osteriet La Gensola i Trastevere'" is a study for the artist's larger painting depicting Danish artists gathering in the La Gensola tavern in Trastevere, Rome. The work, dated between 1800-1837, showcases Blunck's use of graphite to capture the figures in a sketch-like style. This preliminary sketch hints at the composition and individual characteristics of the figures that would be further developed in the final oil painting, offering viewers insight into the artist's creative process. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst.
