Vignet til H. P. Holst, "Den døende Fægter" 1870 - 1881

"Vignet til H. P. Holst, "Den døende Fægter"" is an anonymous 19th century pen and ink drawing depicting a dramatic scene of a duel between two men. The composition is dynamic, with the victorious swordsman standing over his fallen opponent, whose face is contorted in agony. This vignette was likely intended to be used as an illustration for H.P. Holst's work "Den døende Fægter", published in 1881. The artwork is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection in Denmark.
