Interiør med mismodig ung mand og en pige på en seng 1810 - 1873

This pencil sketch by Wilhelm Marstrand, titled "Interiør med mismodig ung mand og en pige på en seng," depicts a young man slumped in a chair, his head in his hands, while a woman sits on a bed behind him. The intimate setting suggests a domestic scene, perhaps a moment of emotional tension or a romantic encounter. Marstrand's loose, expressive lines capture the melancholic mood of the piece, with the young man's posture conveying a sense of despair. The sketch's small size, a mere 109 mm by 120 mm, adds to its intimate and personal quality. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
