"Student Satterup af Marstrand" is a pencil drawing created in 1836 by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873). The drawing depicts a seated figure, a student named Satterup, in profile, holding a glass. The work is characteristic of Marstrand's meticulous style, evident in the detailed rendering of the sitter's clothing and the subtle shading. This intimate portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a student in 19th-century Denmark and showcases Marstrand's talent for capturing individual character through precise observation. The drawing, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of pencil technique.
