"To mandshoveder, det ene hjelmklædt" is a drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809) currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. This small, intimate work, measuring just 115 x 116 mm, depicts the profile of a man wearing a helmet, suggesting a study for a larger composition. The drawing's loose and expressive lines, combined with the use of washes in brown and red, are characteristic of Abildgaard's style. This quick sketch, likely made as part of a series of studies, offers insight into the artist's creative process.
