Parti af havnen i Palermo 1840

"Parti af havnen i Palermo" (1840) is a pencil and watercolor drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848) and depicts a bustling harbor scene in Palermo, Sicily. Rørbye's meticulous detail captures the architectural features of the harbor, from the small hut with a cross on top to the distant cityscape beyond the shore. A variety of boats and figures add visual interest, and the drawing suggests a lively scene filled with the activity of fishermen and townspeople. This drawing is part of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
