Kunstnerens hustru hviler sig 1878 - 1881

Viggo Johansen's "Kunstnerens hustru hviler sig" (The Artist's Wife Rests) is a graphite drawing created between 1878 and 1881. The delicate lines of the drawing capture the artist's wife in a moment of repose, lying on her side with her head resting on her arm. The artist's signature style is evident in the loose and expressive strokes that define the contours of the figure. Johansen's drawing captures the quiet intimacy of domestic life, a common theme in his oeuvre. This drawing is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
