"En Recensent" 1827 - 1889

"En Recensent" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Habbe, created between 1827 and 1889. The artwork depicts a satirical scene with a figure in the center holding two trumpets, surrounded by animals and a framed painting. The artwork's title, which translates to "Under Review," suggests a commentary on the process of artistic critique. The visual elements, with their whimsical nature and comical details, point towards Habbe's skill in capturing the absurdities of contemporary life. The drawing is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
