Studie til de to pigebørn samt til hende (t.h.'s) hoved på billederne "Bøgeskov i Maj". 1855 - 1858

This study, "Studie til de to pigebørn samt til hende (t.h.'s) hoved på billederne "Bøgeskov i Maj".,", is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, dated 1855-1858. This preparatory study shows two young girls in simple dresses, with one girl's head also depicted in the upper right corner. It likely served as a study for a larger work called "Bøgeskov i Maj" (Beech Forest in May), currently on display at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This study is a testament to Skovgaard's meticulous attention to detail and the importance of preparatory work for his art.
