To studier af en soldat 1822 - 1848

"To studier af en soldat" is a pencil drawing on paper by Danish artist Christen Købke. The work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases two quick sketches of a soldier in different poses, one standing and one seated. This small-scale work, completed between 1822 and 1848, is a glimpse into Købke's artistic process and his interest in capturing the human form with a focus on military figures. The delicate lines of the sketches and the use of simple, everyday materials reflect Købke's preference for direct observation and realism.
