Regnskab 1848 1848

"Regnskab 1848" (Account 1848) is a small-scale work on paper by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created in 1848. The artwork depicts a handwritten ledger page filled with meticulous accounting entries. Rørbye, known for his meticulous detail and focus on everyday life, captured the essence of daily business through this seemingly mundane subject, offering a glimpse into 19th-century Danish society. The piece, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Rørbye's ability to elevate the ordinary to the realm of art.
