Peder Paars 1. bog 4. sang. Per Degn ræddes for fogeden 1863

Wilhelm Marstrand's 1863 pen and ink drawing, *Peder Paars 1. bog 4. sang. Per Degn ræddes for fogeden*, depicts a scene from the Danish satirical novel *Peder Paars*. A man kneels before another, seemingly in fear, while the man on the right, Per Degn, gestures with a cup in hand. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a moment of tension and humor characteristic of Marstrand's artistic style. Marstrand's use of pen and ink creates a dynamic composition that emphasizes the emotion of the scene and evokes the satirical tone of the original novel.
