Erklæringen 1856 - 1857

Wilhelm Marstrand's "Erklæringen" (1856-1857) is a pen and ink drawing that depicts a scene of domestic drama. The composition showcases a man kneeling before a seated woman, while another woman stands behind them. The details of the scene, including the dog and the furniture, are rendered with expressive lines and hatches. The artwork is housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and offers a glimpse into Marstrand's artistic practice and his keen observation of human relationships.
