Gadescene i regnvejr 1850s

Wilhelm Marstrand's "Gadescene i regnvejr," a pen and ink drawing from the 1850s, captures a moment of everyday life in a Danish city. The artist, known for his depictions of Danish society, portrays a group of people navigating a rainy street, highlighting the use of umbrellas as a common means of protection against the elements. This drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger work, showcasing Marstrand's deft hand in capturing the details of clothing, posture, and the interplay of individuals in a bustling urban environment.
