To skitser. F.n. illustration til Hero og Leandros 1860

This drawing, *To skitser. F.n. illustration til Hero og Leandros* (1860), by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich (1820-1908), showcases a preliminary sketch for an illustration of the classic Greek myth of Hero and Leander. The composition, featuring a lone figure standing in the foreground and a scene of a flying figure in the background, indicates Frølich's exploration of the narrative's visual potential. The use of pen and ink on paper suggests a study for a more finished work, typical of the artist's practice. *To skitser. F.n. illustration til Hero og Leandros* resides in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and is an important document of Frølich's artistic process.
