Lørdag. Tidens eller dødens vingede mandsfigur, med en le i den ene hånd, i den anden en sluttet ring 1743 - 1809

This pen and wash drawing, titled "Lørdag. Tidens eller dødens vingede mandsfigur, med en le i den ene hånd, i den anden en sluttet ring," depicts a winged, muscular, and bearded figure kneeling on clouds and holding a sword in one hand and a ring in the other. Created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809), the drawing showcases his skill in depicting classical themes through the use of anatomical detail and expressive gestures. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work and demonstrates Abildgaard's interest in exploring the symbolism of time and death. The piece is held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
