Ein lesender Mann
Gustav Wentzel captures a quiet, everyday moment here with scratchy, energetic lines. An older man sits hunched over, completely absorbed in a large sheet of paper—likely a newspaper—holding it wide with both hands. You can almost feel the rustle of the paper and the concentration in his furrowed brow. The initials 'G.W.' at the bottom sign off on this intimate glimpse into 19th-century Norwegian life, showing Wentzel's talent for finding dignity in ordinary subjects.
