Regnskab 1846 1846

"Regnskab 1846" (1846) by Martinus Rørbye is a detailed ledger page, a testament to the meticulous nature of 19th-century bookkeeping. Rørbye, a Danish artist known for his precise depictions of everyday life, has captured the intimate details of a financial record, likely from his own household. The meticulous script and the use of ink create a sense of authenticity, inviting viewers to imagine the daily routines and transactions that this document reflects. This work, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Rørbye's keen observation and his ability to find artistic value in seemingly mundane subjects.
