Portræt af jomfrue Broe. 1842

"Portræt af jomfrue Broe" (Portrait of Miss Broe) is a pencil drawing by the Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard. The artwork, dated 1842, is a simple yet striking portrait of a woman in a shawl and bonnet. The sitter's gaze is direct, and the artist uses subtle shading to capture the texture of her clothing and the lines of her face. The artwork is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. Skovgaard is known for his detailed and realistic depictions of Danish life, and this work is a fine example of his style, demonstrating the artist's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the character of his sitters.
