Anne Colbjørnsen i Norderhaug præstegaard 1779

Erik Pauelsen's 1779 drawing, "Anne Colbjørnsen i Norderhaug præstegaard," depicts a scene from Danish history. The artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and features a group of people gathered in a room, including Anne Colbjørnsen, a prominent figure in Danish folklore. The drawing's detailed rendering of the figures' clothing and expressions, executed in a gray wash technique, provides a glimpse into 18th-century Danish life and culture.
