Dagen, siddende mand med strålende glorie og pile 1743 - 1809

This pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, titled *Dagen, siddende mand med strålende glorie og pile*, depicts a seated male figure with a radiant halo and arrows. The figure is likely a representation of the Sun God, symbolizing the power and radiance of the day. The drawing, created between 1743 and 1809, is a study for a larger work and exemplifies Abildgaard's interest in classical mythology and allegorical themes. Currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this drawing is a significant example of Abildgaard's artistic style.
