Parti af Toldboden 1820s

"Parti af Toldboden" (Part of the Custom House), a 19th-century watercolor by Danish artist C.F. Christensen, depicts a section of the Copenhagen Custom House. Painted in the 1820s, the artwork showcases a realistic view of the building's facade with a focus on architectural details, including the arched windows and the intricate design of the building. The scene portrays the building's prominent position in the bustling waterfront of Copenhagen, with figures and a boat in the foreground adding a sense of life and activity to the composition. The watercolor's muted tones and delicate brushstrokes contribute to its tranquil and atmospheric quality. "Parti af Toldboden" is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and stands as a testament to Christensen's talent for capturing the architectural beauty and everyday life of his time.
