Italiensk bonde kører til byen med vinfade på sin kærre 1845

This pencil drawing, created in 1845 by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, depicts a simple scene of an Italian peasant transporting wine barrels in a cart pulled by a horse. The drawing's realism and attention to detail captures the everyday life of rural Italy, a subject that interested Lundbye during his travels. It's a characteristic example of Lundbye's work, known for its focus on landscapes and the lives of ordinary people, and it offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's keen observation and appreciation for everyday life.
