DescriptionDescription: Lundbye’s ink drawing of a man with his back turned to the viewer, observing a woman with two children, is what is known as an erindring, or “remembrance”. Symptomatically, the artist has set it in a linear frame. Nothing is known about this drawing, which is almost existential in character. It was done during the artist’s visit to his parents’ home in Frederiksværk, by Lake Arresø in northern Zealand, Denmark’s largest lake.
