"Udkast til "Merkur"" is a preliminary sketch for a larger artwork. It's an anonymous work, created sometime between 1870 and 1880. The drawing depicts a figure in a seated position, with the lines capturing the essence of form rather than precise detail. This minimalist approach reflects the artist's focus on capturing movement and gesture, making it a valuable insight into the creative process. The sketch is currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
