Lignelsen om den store nadver 1860s

"Lignelsen om den store nadver" (The Parable of the Great Supper) is a pen and ink drawing created by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand in the 1860s. The drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Great Supper, where guests are invited to a feast but refuse to attend. Marstrand's meticulous lines capture the solemnity of the scene as Jesus, standing in the foreground, gestures towards the empty table and the unheeding guests in the background. The artwork exemplifies Marstrand's mastery of linework and his focus on historical and religious themes.
