Svensk bondekarl hos købmanden 1851

"Svensk bondekarl hos købmanden" (Swedish peasant at the merchant's) is a pencil sketch by Wilhelm Marstrand, a renowned Danish artist known for his depictions of everyday life in the 19th century. The drawing, created in 1851, captures a scene of a farmer in traditional attire, likely paying his bill in a shop. The simple yet expressive lines emphasize the figures' attire and their interaction, highlighting the artist's keen observation of Danish society. This work, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst's collection, provides valuable insight into social customs and everyday life during Marstrand's time.
