Rygvendte figurer, en til hest (Den Hellige Familie?) 1810 - 1873

"Rygvendte figurer, en til hest (Den Hellige Familie?)" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The sketch depicts a group of figures, some facing away from the viewer, with one figure riding a donkey. The composition suggests a scene from the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt, although the scene is depicted in a simplified and impressionistic manner, characteristic of Marstrand's early sketches. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, measures 157 mm in height and 184 mm in width. It is a testament to Marstrand's mastery of line and his ability to capture the essence of a scene with minimal detail.
