Sokrates 1915 - 1916

"Sokrates" is a pencil drawing by J.A. Jerichau (II) created between 1915 and 1916. The work, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the face of the renowned Greek philosopher Socrates. The artist's use of loose and gestural lines conveys a sense of dynamism and energy in the portrait. It is a powerful example of Jerichau's distinctive style of sketching and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects.
