Profilbillede i hel figur, hovedet dog en face, af kunstnerens anden hustru, som frugtsommelig 1803 - 1809

Nicolai Abildgaard's "Profilbillede i hel figur, hovedet dog en face, af kunstnerens anden hustru, som frugtsommelig" is a charcoal drawing depicting the artist's second wife in a seated pose. The drawing, created between 1803 and 1809, captures her profile, yet her head is turned to face the viewer, giving a sense of intimacy and directness. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a lifelike quality to the composition, suggesting the artist's deep understanding of human form and his desire to immortalize his beloved. This artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Abildgaard's personal life and his artistic skill in portraying individuals with tenderness and precision.
