Paris byder Christian VII velkommen 1768

"Paris byder Christian VII velkommen" (Paris Welcomes Christian VII), a delicate 1768 drawing by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, captures a moment of royal arrival. The composition, a simple yet poignant sketch, showcases a grand carriage drawn by a team of horses, a figure kneeling in the foreground, and a figure standing in the carriage. Saint-Aubin's masterful use of line creates a sense of movement and grandeur, highlighting the importance of this historical event, a welcome ceremony for King Christian VII of Denmark. The drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Saint-Aubin's ability to capture the essence of historical events with remarkable detail and finesse.
