Gruppe med tre mænd 1825 - 1826

"Gruppe med tre mænd" (Group of Three Men) is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848). Created between 1825 and 1826, the artwork is a small, intimate study of three men depicted in simple lines. The drawing, which measures 182 mm in height and 115 mm in width, is part of Rørbye's sketchbook, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This sketch exemplifies Rørbye's early style, known for its delicate lines and focus on capturing fleeting moments of everyday life. The artwork, likely a preparatory study for a larger composition, showcases Rørbye's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with minimal detail, leaving the viewer to imagine the context and their individual personalities.
