Stående kvinde i kjortel og hovedklæde 1847

This is a small-scale, pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, completed in 1847. It depicts a single female figure, standing and draped in a robe and head covering. The simple lines of the drawing focus on the figure’s form and the folds of her garment, and the minimal background suggests a sketch-like quality. This work, housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, offers insight into Rørbye’s artistic practice and his interest in capturing the human figure.
