Enkens besøg 1851

"Enkens besøg" (The Widow's Visit) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, completed in 1851. The piece captures a moment of intimate conversation between a man and a woman, likely a widow, in a domestic setting. The quick lines and hatching style give the piece a sense of movement and immediacy, characteristic of Marstrand's work. The drawing's small dimensions, measuring just 64 mm in height and 97 mm in width, suggest it was likely a study or sketch for a larger work. It is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
