Wilhelm Marstrand's 1834 pencil drawing, "Koncertmester Johan Frederik Frølich," depicts the concertmaster standing in a relaxed posture, his right hand resting on a piece of furniture. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of Frølich's clothing and facial features. This intimate portrait showcases Marstrand's skill as a portraitist and is a valuable record of a significant figure in Danish music. The work is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
