Eros og en svævende kvinde 1743 - 1809

"Eros og en svævende kvinde" (Eros and a Floating Woman) is a pen drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard, a prominent Danish artist of the late 18th century. The artwork depicts Eros, the Greek god of love, reaching out to a woman floating in the air, a classic allegorical representation of love and desire. Abildgaard’s masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of movement and weightlessness, highlighting the ethereal nature of the scene. This drawing, part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Abildgaard's Neoclassical style, a movement that emphasized classical Greek and Roman art and literature.
