Studier af svampe 1877

"Studier af svampe" (Studies of Mushrooms), a pencil drawing by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, depicts two detailed sketches of mushrooms. The meticulous rendering of the fungi showcases Skovgaard's keen observation of nature and his mastery of line drawing. The artwork, dated 1877, exemplifies the artist's early interest in botanical studies and his pursuit of realism in his artwork. Currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this small-scale drawing (96 mm x 157 mm) offers a glimpse into Skovgaard's meticulous approach to capturing the beauty of the natural world.
