Mand, der bøjer sig ned 1825 - 1826

"Mand, der bøjer sig ned" (Man Bending Down) is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created between 1825 and 1826. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Rørbye's skill in capturing the human form through simple lines and shading. The subject, a man in traditional attire, is rendered with a sense of realism and detail, emphasizing the anatomy and posture. This sketch exemplifies Rørbye's early work as a draftsman, which would later evolve into masterful depictions of landscapes and everyday life.
