Apostlen Peter 1868 - 1871

"Apostlen Peter" (1868-1871) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873), housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts a standing figure of the apostle Peter, rendered in delicate lines and subtle shading. His simple garment and contemplative pose convey a sense of piety and humility, characteristic of Marstrand's approach to religious subjects. The drawing serves as a study for a larger work, showcasing Marstrand's skill in capturing the human form and conveying emotion.
