græsk Archont 1835

"græsk Archont" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created in 1835. The work depicts a Greek Archont, a high-ranking official in ancient Greece, seated and smoking a pipe. Rørbye's precise and detailed style captures the intricate details of the Archont's clothing and the relaxed, contemplative atmosphere of the scene. This drawing is a testament to Rørbye's skill as a draftsman and his interest in historical and cultural subjects. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
