Jørgen Sonne 1860 - 1873

Wilhelm Marstrand's "Jørgen Sonne" is a pen and ink drawing on blue paper, completed between 1860 and 1873, shortly before the artist's death. The drawing depicts the Danish painter Jørgen Sonne, holding a palette and standing in a three-quarter pose. The drawing is a study of Sonne's appearance and is executed with the characteristic detail and precision that Marstrand is known for. The drawing is currently located in SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, and provides a glimpse into the artistic circle of 19th-century Denmark.
