Portræt af en siddende, korpulent mand i halvfigur, trekvart profil mod venstre 1842

"Portræt af en siddende, korpulent mand i halvfigur, trekvart profil mod venstre" (Portrait of a seated, corpulent man in half-figure, three-quarter profile to the left) is a drawing by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, created in 1842. The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man seated in a chair, seen from the chest up. Skovgaard, known for his detailed and realistic style, captures the subject's presence with precise lines and subtle shading. The drawing's intimate scale (227 mm x 183 mm) lends a sense of closeness to the viewer, highlighting the individual character of the sitter. The work is a prime example of Skovgaard's early portraiture, demonstrating his skill in capturing likeness and form.
