Kodros vandrende bort, set fra ryggen 1743 - 1809

This pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809) depicts a study of a figure in motion. The drawing is titled "Kodros vandrende bort, set fra ryggen" (Kodros Walking Away, Seen From the Back), and likely represents a preparatory study for a larger work. The dynamic composition captures the movement of the figure, with the figure shown walking away from the viewer. This drawing demonstrates Abildgaard's use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and volume. The work is currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
