Figurstudier 1671 - 1738

"Figurstudier," a drawing by Danish artist Hendrik Krock, depicts a group of figures in a delicate, lightly sketched style. Created between 1671 and 1738, the work demonstrates Krock's skill in capturing the human form through subtle lines and shading. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's exploration of anatomy and composition. The composition, which emphasizes the figures' postures and interactions, suggests a preliminary study for a larger artwork. The work's muted tones and fragmented lines contribute to a sense of informality, allowing the viewer to appreciate Krock's process of capturing the human form.
