Document

Jeg har med megen Glæde seet Hr. Troels Lunds Arbeider bestaaende deels i Studier deels i udførte Tegninger i Landskab- og Theaterfaget. Disse Arbeider vidne om den unge Kunstners Fliid og Fremskridt og lykkelige Anlæg, jeg tager saaledes ikke i Betænkning at anbefale Hr Troels Lund som aldeles værdig til fremdeles at vorde sat i Stand til her i Italien at fortsætte sit Studie, hvilket han har paabegyndt og udøvet med en Grundighed og alvorlig Stræben, der i Forening med denne unge Mands Charakter giør ham saa prisværdig.

Rom d: 29^d. Octobr 1831.

Oversættelse af dokument

With much pleasure have I seen Mr Troels Lund’s works consisting partly of studies partly of executed drawings of landscapes and drawings for the theatre. These works prove the young artist’s diligence and progress and remarkable talents, so I do not hesitate to recommend Mr Troels Lund as being completely worthy of support enabling him still to continue his studies here in Italy, which he has started and carried out with profundity and serious endeavour. Combined with the young man’s character this makes him so commendable.

Rome, October 29^th 1831.
