Stående mandlig model (gips?) 1830 - 1833

"Stående mandlig model (gips?)" is a pencil drawing created between 1830 and 1833 by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer. The artwork features a detailed study of a male nude figure, likely based on a plaster cast, capturing the anatomical intricacies and defining lines of the human form. The delicate shading and precise lines characteristic of Dreyer's style convey the structure and musculature of the model, making it a powerful example of the academic approach to figure drawing prevalent in the 19th century. This drawing, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Dreyer's mastery in anatomical representation and contributes to the understanding of his artistic practice during his formative years.
