Udkast til en geometrisk loftsdekoration med kassetter 1743 - 1809

This is a design drawing created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, between 1743 and 1809. The drawing, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts a plan for a geometric ceiling decoration. The design features a grid of squares and diamonds, with circular and flower-shaped motifs. The detailed lines and delicate shading suggest an interest in classicism and the principles of order and proportion. The piece demonstrates Abildgaard's versatility as an artist, incorporating both design elements and fine artistic sensibilities.
