Ligkapellet ved Frue Kirke i Odense 1844

"Ligkapellet ved Frue Kirke i Odense" is a pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer, created in 1844. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a detailed view of the mortuary chapel located near the Church of Our Lady in Odense, Denmark. The drawing highlights the building's architectural details, including the stepped gable and the windows, with the use of delicate pen strokes and subtle washes of color. The building is rendered with careful precision, capturing the essence of the structure, a common theme in Dreyer's oeuvre. The composition, with its emphasis on the building's facade and the surrounding environment, creates a sense of realism and intimacy, offering viewers a glimpse into the historical context of Odense in the mid-19th century.
