En kvinde, der ligger med et spædbarn på en seng, ser et uhyre vise sig i vinduet. Ved sengens fodende sidder en sovende kvinde 1743 - 1809

"En kvinde, der ligger med et spædbarn på en seng, ser et uhyre vise sig i vinduet. Ved sengens fodende sidder en sovende kvinde," a pen and ink drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard, is a study in contrasts. The central figure, a mother cradling her infant, gazes upward with apprehension as a grotesque creature peers in from the window. The sleeping woman at the foot of the bed adds to the sense of vulnerability and looming danger. The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is characteristic of Abildgaard's exploration of themes of innocence, fear, and the supernatural.
