Prøveplade: Ung pige, halv profil 1899

Frans Schwartz’s “Prøveplade: Ung pige, halv profil” is an etching from 1899 depicting a young girl’s head in profile. Schwartz, a Danish artist known for his etchings and drawings, masterfully captures the girl’s youthful features with subtle shading and delicate lines. This detailed, small-scale work is housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen and provides a glimpse into Schwartz’s artistic style and his ability to convey emotion through a simple subject. The artwork’s intimate scale and focus on the subject’s pensive expression evoke a sense of realism and introspection.
