Figurrids 1743 - 1809

"Figurrids" is a pencil drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard, a prominent Danish artist of the late 18th century. This small-scale study, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Abildgaard's focus on human form and movement. The delicate lines depict multiple figures, likely a study for a larger composition. The sketch's simplicity and informality reflect the artist's exploration of anatomical details and the dynamics of human interaction. This drawing, dated 1783, offers a glimpse into Abildgaard's artistic process and provides insight into the development of his larger works.
