Heinrich Gustav Ferdinand Holm's "View of the Town of Frederiksberg from the West, with Copenhagen on the Horizon" is a detailed pen-and-ink drawing that captures the picturesque landscape of Frederiksberg, Denmark in the early 19th century. 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. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the drawing offers a glimpse into the charm and beauty of Frederiksberg, a historical site known for its idyllic gardens and royal residences.
