En værtshusscene 1810 - 1873

"En værtshusscene" (Inn Scene) is a drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, created between 1810 and 1873. The artwork, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene of everyday life in a tavern, featuring several individuals engaged in conversation. The drawing's brown tones and loose, expressive lines create a sense of intimacy and realism, showcasing Marstrand's keen observation of human interactions. The small scale (169mm x 191mm) adds to the immediacy of the scene, as if capturing a fleeting moment in time. This work exemplifies Marstrand's artistic mastery in capturing the essence of everyday life, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics and interactions of his time.
