Gade i Rom 1837

"Gade i Rom" (Street in Rome) is a pen and ink drawing created by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand in 1837. This piece, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a narrow street scene in Rome with a woman walking down the center. The detailed rendering of the buildings and the figure, while simple in form, creates a sense of realism, capturing the atmosphere of daily life in 19th-century Rome. This drawing exemplifies Marstrand's early fascination with depicting architectural details and everyday scenes, often with a focus on light and shadow.
