This is a sketchbook page by Johan Thomas Lundbye, a Danish painter known for his naturalistic depictions of rural life. Created between 1840 and 1844, this page, titled "Blank. Side 126," is an example of the artist's preparatory work, showcasing a blank page with faint traces of pencil or ink. It is a fascinating glimpse into Lundbye's artistic process, allowing viewers to imagine the artist's thoughts and inspirations as he worked on his larger canvases. The sketchbook is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
