Figurkomposition 1916

"Figurkomposition" is an etching created by Danish artist J.A. Jerichau (II) in 1916. The artwork, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a group of figures rendered in a gestural, expressive style. Jerichau's simplified lines and fragmented forms create a sense of dynamism and movement, reflecting the artistic trends of early 20th-century Expressionism. The small size of the etching (103 mm x 118 mm) adds to its intimacy and immediacy, highlighting the artist's focus on capturing fleeting moments and subjective experiences.
