Skitsebogsblad med fortegnelse over alt hvad der var afmalet på Hamlets skjold 1743 - 1809

This sketch by Nicolai Abildgaard, a Danish artist, is a list of items that were painted onto Hamlet's shield. It is a sketch in his notebook that he used to keep track of his work, which is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The artwork is from 1743-1809 and includes notes on the items depicted in the painting, which include a sword, a crown, and other symbols. Abildgaard was a prolific artist, but this personal notebook allows us to see his process at work. This page is just one part of a larger collection of sketches and notes from Abildgaard, which offers insight into the process of his artwork and the artistic culture of the time.
