Holmens mand is a 1807 unspecified by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a drawing of a man in a dark blue military uniform. He’s standing straight, holding a long spear in one hand and a pistol in the other. His hat has a shiny emblem, and his boots are black with yellow accents. The background is plain white, so all the focus stays on him. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, with loose lines and simple shading. The colors are flat—no fancy shadows or blending—just solid blues and blacks. The handwriting on the paper says it’s from 1807, which fits the old-style clothes. If you like this, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and drama in their work.
