"Konebåd. Illustration til W.A. Graah. Undersøgelsesrejse til østkysten af Grønland" is a detailed illustration by Oluf Olufsen Bagge depicting a traditional Greenlandic boat, a "konebåd," being rowed across the sea. Created in 1832, the drawing captures the essence of Greenlandic maritime life, showcasing the skill and artistry of the people of the region. It's a poignant representation of the era's fascination with Greenland and its cultural practices, offering viewers a glimpse into a world beyond the familiar. This illustration was originally created for W.A. Graah’s book "Undersøgelsesrejse til østkysten af Grønland," highlighting its role as a visual accompaniment to scientific exploration and ethnographic documentation. The depiction of the boat, its passengers, and the surrounding seascape is a testament to Bagge’s meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey a sense of realism and movement.
