Lesbia og Catullus 1800s

"Lesbia og Catullus" is a drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement. This small sketch, created in the late 18th century, depicts two figures, likely the Roman poet Catullus and his beloved Lesbia. Abildgaard’s use of line emphasizes the figures’ forms, creating a sense of intimacy and emotion. This artwork is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
