Barnet rider ranke 1870 - 1873

Wilhelm Marstrand, a Danish artist, created a pen and ink drawing titled "Barnet rider Ranke" in 1870-1873. This piece, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man sitting in a chair with a child perched on his lap. Marstrand's skillful hatching technique captures the light and shadow on the figures. The intimate scene suggests a tender moment between a father and child, offering a glimpse into family life during the 19th century.
