Gammel svensk kone og lille pige 1851

"Gammel svensk kone og lille pige" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand. The artwork, created in 1851, depicts an elderly woman and a young girl standing side-by-side. This intimate portrayal of a generational bond, reminiscent of Marstrand's later work, suggests a focus on everyday life and social observation, highlighting the artist's keen eye for capturing human interaction. The delicate lines and skillful shading contribute to the drawing's realism and create a sense of depth, further emphasizing the unique characters and their relationship. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
