Figuurstudies 1874

"Figuurstudies" is a pencil drawing created by George Clausen in 1874. This preliminary sketch consists of seven figures, drawn with quick, light strokes. The composition is informal and spontaneous, characteristic of figure studies which were often used by artists to explore human anatomy and movement. Clausen, known for his realism and depictions of everyday life, likely used these studies as preparation for a larger painting. These figure studies, created by an important British artist, highlight the creative process of drawing and provide a glimpse into Clausen's artistic style.
