Sheiken og hans datter af Valdemar Thisted 1855

This black and white print titled "Sheiken og hans datter af Valdemar Thisted," created by an anonymous artist in 1855, depicts a sheikh, presumably Valdemar Thisted, sitting with his head in his hands. A woman, presumably his daughter, stands over him, looking concerned. The scene is framed in an ornate oval with decorative flourishes, a common design element in 19th-century prints. This artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a striking example of social realism, capturing the emotional weight of a personal moment.
