Den katolske eller den protestantiske religion. En siddende kvindefigur 1809

This 1809 preliminary sketch by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, titled "Den katolske eller den protestantiske religion. En siddende kvindefigur," is a graphite drawing housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork showcases a seated female figure, likely a study for a larger painting. The sketch is characterized by a loose and gestural style, with an emphasis on capturing the figure's form and movement. The artist's use of line and shading suggests a sense of depth and volume, while the unfinished nature of the work offers a glimpse into the creative process.
