Liste af navne 1817 - 1875

This artwork, *Liste af navne* (List of Names), created by P.C. Skovgaard between 1817 and 1875, is a small-scale drawing housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The artwork is a simple yet intriguing composition, featuring a list of names in Danish script. It depicts the ghost image of a bird, likely a dove, created by exposure to light. Skovgaard's choice of this unique medium, as well as the personal nature of the content, offers a glimpse into his artistic practice and personal life during this period. The use of a simple list, combined with the subtle ghost image, allows for a reflection on the artist's social circle and the passage of time.
