Udkast til mindestøtte for Sinclar (Sinclair) 1743 - 1809

This watercolor drawing, "Udkast til mindestøtte for Sinclar (Sinclair)", was created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard between 1743 and 1809. It depicts a design for a memorial monument, likely dedicated to a prominent figure named Sinclair, a reminder of a past event. Abildgaard's choice of a classical design, featuring a tall column with inscriptions and a skull, reflects Neoclassical architectural styles prevalent in the 18th century. This drawing, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides insight into Abildgaard's artistic sensibilities and the artistic trends of his time.
