"Tre portugisere" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1748 and 1831. The artwork, currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts three figures in profile, presumably Portuguese. Their clothing and accessories are detailed, providing insight into the fashion of the period. Clemens, known for his precise and elegant line work, captures the individuality of each figure. This drawing, while seemingly simple, offers a glimpse into the artist's meticulous observation and skillful rendering of human form.
