Arkitektoniske fragmenter. 1840(?) 1840

"Arkitektoniske fragmenter" (Architectural Fragments), a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Christen Købke in 1840, depicts fragments of classical architecture overgrown with vegetation. This study, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the artist's fascination with architectural details and the passage of time. The delicate lines and careful shading convey the sense of decay and rejuvenation inherent in the scene, showcasing Købke's keen eye for observation and his ability to translate nature into art.
