Udkast til portrætgruppe af to stående piger og en mindre dreng 1780s

"Udkast til portrætgruppe af to stående piger og en mindre dreng" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Jens Juel, created in the 1780s. The artwork depicts three figures: two girls standing side by side, one with her arm around the other, and a smaller boy standing to their right. The sketch is a preliminary study, characterized by its light and delicate lines, and serves as an early stage in the development of a more elaborate portrait painting. The work is currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark. This small-scale drawing showcases Juel’s artistic process and offers a glimpse into his approach to portraiture in the late 18th century.
