En gejstlig ved en halvåben dør 1840s

This small pencil sketch, "En gejstlig ved en halvåben dør," was created in the 1840s by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye. It depicts a figure in a long robe, likely a clergyman, standing in a doorway. The simple composition and minimal detail emphasize the figure's presence and the suggestive atmosphere of the scene. It's a powerful example of Rørbye's talent for capturing everyday moments and figures with a unique sense of observation and emotion. This work is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
