Blad med studier fra et italiensk marked 1913

"Blad med studier fra et italiensk marked" (Leaf with studies from an Italian market) is a 1913 ink drawing by Danish artist Peter Hansen (1868-1928). The work, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a series of quick sketches depicting figures in a market setting. Hansen's loose, expressive lines capture the movement and energy of the scene, focusing on the postures and gestures of the individuals rather than precise detail. This sketch serves as a record of observation, a moment captured from life and transformed into art.
