Udsnit af motivet fra recto: En parlamentar fra den engelske flåde går i land 1801 1799 - 1802

This pencil sketch by Danish artist C.A. Lorentzen, titled "Udsnit af motivet fra recto: En parlamentar fra den engelske flåde går i land 1801", depicts a scene from the Napoleonic Wars. It shows a group of British naval officers in a boat, likely a parliamentary delegation, with a flag flying from the stern. Created between 1799 and 1802, the artwork provides a glimpse into Lorentzen's personal sketchbook and highlights his interest in capturing the realities of war. The composition is simple, focusing on the figures in the boat, and the loose, gestural lines evoke a sense of immediacy and dynamism. Today, this sketch resides in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
