Fiskere der trækker båd i land samt figurskitser 1835

This pencil drawing, created by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye in 1835, depicts a scene of fishermen pulling a boat ashore. The work, titled "Fiskere der trækker båd i land samt figurskitser" (Fishermen Pulling a Boat Ashore and Figure Sketches), showcases Rørbye's keen eye for detail and interest in capturing everyday life. The composition is filled with numerous figures, both standing and seated, suggesting a lively moment at the shore. The simple yet expressive lines of the drawing convey the movement and effort of the fishermen as they work, while the surrounding figures add a sense of community and observation. This artwork, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Danish fishermen during the 19th century.
