Illustration med officer og knælende dame 1795

"Illustration med officer og knælende dame" is an etching by Danish artist Georg Christian Schule, dated 1795. The artwork depicts a scene of dramatic tension, featuring an officer standing over a kneeling woman. The officer is dressed in military garb and appears to be addressing the woman with a stern expression, while she cowers under a loose garment, creating a sense of vulnerability. The print's composition and detail highlight the emotional contrast between the two figures. Schule's use of line and shading effectively conveys the scene's intensity. This work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Schule's artistic style and the social commentary prevalent in 18th-century Danish art.
