The drawing, created between 1818 and 1828, depicts the town's buildings and surrounding countryside, with the city of Copenhagen visible in the distance. Holm's precise and delicate lines bring the scene to life, showcasing the lush greenery, the architectural details of the buildings, and the vast expanse of the horizon.
