En nøgen hyrdedreng (David?) 1831 - 1852

"En nøgen hyrdedreng (David?)" is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer between 1831 and 1852. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a seated nude figure, possibly David, within an arched frame. Dreyer’s work is characterized by its delicate lines and nuanced shading, creating a sense of depth and texture. This drawing, measuring 162 x 199 mm, offers a glimpse into Dreyer's artistic process and his exploration of classical themes. The small size and informal style of the work suggests it may have been a study or sketch for a larger composition.
