Studie af antikt ynglingehoved 1821

This graphite drawing, "Studie af antikt ynglingehoved," was created by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye in 1821. The artwork is a study of an antique bust of a young man, rendered in a highly detailed and realistic manner. Rørbye's focus on form and light in this work reflects the Neoclassical style that was popular in Denmark at the time. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into Rørbye's artistic process and his fascination with classical sculpture.
