Italiensk bonde 1911 - 1915

"Italiensk bonde" (Italian Peasant) is a 1911-1915 ink drawing by Danish artist Peter Hansen (1868-1928). The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a figure in profile, with a loose, gestural style. The subject, likely a peasant from Italy, is captured in a simple, expressive manner, showcasing Hansen’s talent for capturing the essence of his subjects in a few quick strokes. The drawing is a fine example of Hansen’s late work, reflecting his interest in capturing everyday moments and individuals in a natural, unposed way.
