Hovedet af alvorsfuld, ung mand, 3/4 profil mod højre 1842

Johan Thomas Lundbye’s 1842 drawing “Hovedet af alvorsfuld, ung mand, 3/4 profil mod højre” is a pen and ink portrait of a young man, rendered in meticulous detail. The subject's serious expression and three-quarter profile, along with the artist's signature, add to the artwork's realism and historical significance. A notable Danish painter and draftsman, Lundbye often depicted everyday life in Denmark, a style that captured the attention of both art critics and the public. This intimate portrait, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Lundbye’s keen eye for capturing human emotion and detail.
