"Menneskets aldre" (The Ages of Man), a pen and ink drawing by J.F. Clemens, depicts five nude figures of different ages, arranged in a row from left to right. Clemens, a Danish artist, produced this work in 1748 - 1831. This study of the human form showcases the artist's interest in anatomical detail and the changing body over a lifetime. The drawing is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
