Parti fra Langelinje 1810 - 1848

This pencil drawing, titled "Parti fra Langelinje" (Part of Langelinie) by Danish artist Christen Købke, showcases his early talent for detailed observation. Created between 1810 and 1848, this piece captures the picturesque Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, Denmark. The composition features a wooden structure, likely a bathhouse or a pier, with a flagpole prominently displayed. Købke's meticulous rendering of the trees, the water's edge, and the distant sailboats conveys a sense of calm and realism. The drawing is a testament to Købke's early mastery of line and his keen eye for capturing the beauty of his surroundings. This piece now resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
