"Freia" is a watercolor drawing created by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich in 1844. Depicting the Norse goddess of love and beauty, Freia, the artwork features the goddess seated with a wolf at her feet. The composition is framed by intricate decorative details. This artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Frølich's mastery of watercolor and his interest in Norse mythology. The drawing is a beautiful example of Romantic art with its emphasis on idealized figures and mythical themes.
