"En sportsmand" 1936

"En sportsmand" is a 1936 pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Robert Storm Petersen. The piece humorously depicts a crowd of spectators at a sporting event, with the focus on the backs of the people in the front row. The viewers are completely absorbed by the event in the distance, creating a satirical commentary on the collective fascination with sports. The artwork is a prime example of Petersen's signature style - simple lines, bold shapes, and a whimsical sense of humor. It is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
