Scene fra Voltaires "Le triumvirat", formodentlig 1.akt, 1.scene 1798 - 1801

"Scene fra Voltaires 'Le triumvirat', formodentlig 1.akt, 1.scene" is a pen and wash drawing on paper by Nicolai Abildgaard, created between 1798 and 1801. The work depicts two figures, one seated and one standing, against a backdrop of dramatic, mountainous scenery. The use of pen and wash creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, particularly in the depiction of the distant mountains. The figures are drawn with a sense of movement and expression, suggesting a scene of emotional intensity. This drawing is a study for a larger work, likely a painting, that was intended to illustrate a scene from Voltaire's play "The Triumvirate." The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
