Alcyone ser ud over havet. Halvfigur 1810

"Alcyone ser ud over havet. Halvfigur," created in 1810 by Danish artist C.G. Kratzenstein Stub, is a delicate pencil drawing depicting a woman in profile, her gaze directed towards the sea. The figure is draped in a flowing garment, emphasizing her graceful form, and her hand rests on her head in a gesture of contemplation. This sensitive portrayal of a female figure looking out to sea speaks to the Romantic era's interest in emotional expression and the beauty of nature, reflecting the artist's short but impactful career. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Kratzenstein Stub's talent and the enduring appeal of classical themes in art.
