Siddende tyrk 1835

"Siddende tyrk" is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye in 1835. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a detailed study of a man wearing a traditional Turkish headdress, smoking a pipe. Rørbye, known for his meticulous depictions of people and everyday scenes, uses delicate lines to capture the figure's relaxed pose and the subtle details of the clothing and facial features. This drawing is a testament to Rørbye's keen observation and his ability to translate the nuances of human form into art.
