"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small-scale work on paper by Danish painter Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818-1848). Dating from 1845, this work is an example of Lundbye's talent for depicting scenes from daily life in a realistic and engaging way. It is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark. The image depicts a hand-written diary entry in a leather-bound journal and exemplifies Lundbye's interest in depicting everyday life in a realistic and detailed manner. This drawing is a testament to Lundbye's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
