Kain og Abel 1919 - 1920

"Kain og Abel" is a graphite drawing on paper by Danish artist Karl Isakson, created between 1919 and 1920. The artwork depicts a scene from the Biblical story of Cain and Abel, with the figure of Cain standing tall and imposing, while Abel lies on the ground. Isakson's loose and expressive style, characterized by gestural lines and a sense of movement, gives the drawing a dramatic energy. The work is a poignant commentary on the themes of envy, jealousy, and the consequences of sin, as well as a testament to Isakson's artistic talent. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
