En siddende nøgen lille dreng, udkast til en Jesusfigur 1831 - 1852

This delicate pencil sketch by Dankvart Dreyer, titled "En siddende nøgen lille dreng, udkast til en Jesusfigur", is a preliminary study for a larger figure of Jesus. Dated between 1831 and 1852, the drawing reveals Dreyer’s masterful use of line to capture the subtle contours of a young boy’s body. The minimalist approach, focusing solely on the figure, highlights Dreyer’s interest in the human form. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's early exploration of religious themes.
