Studieblad med fem rækker af terninger og brudstykker af runde stave 1769

This pen and ink drawing, "Studie blad med fem rækker af terninger og brudstykker af runde stave", by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, is a study of geometric forms. Created in 1769, it features a grid of cubes and cylindrical fragments, meticulously rendered in hatching. The artwork's focus on precise representation of light and shadow reflects the principles of linear perspective, a key element of academic art training. This detailed study exemplifies the importance of geometric foundations for mastering draftsmanship, a practice widely employed in the 18th century.
