Studier af seletøj 1847

Johan Thomas Lundbye's "Studier af seletøj" (Studies of Harness) from 1847 is a detailed pencil drawing of two pieces of horse harness. The intricate detail of the straps and buckles highlights Lundbye's keen observation of everyday objects and his skill as a draftsman. This study likely served as preparatory work for a larger painting, reflecting his interest in capturing the realities of rural Danish life. The work is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and showcases Lundbye's talent for capturing realism in his art.
