Rids af gruppe på fire figurer 1743 - 1809

"Rids af gruppe på fire figurer" is a pencil sketch created by Nicolai Abildgaard between 1743 and 1809. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The sketch depicts a group of four figures, likely a study for a larger composition. Abildgaard was a prominent Danish artist known for his Neoclassical style, and this sketch exemplifies his focus on precise anatomical details and simplified forms. The delicate pencil lines and the splashes of brown stain on the paper add an element of rawness and informality to the piece, making it a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process.
