Knælende ung pige 1808 - 1889

"Knælende ung pige" is a graphite drawing by Danish artist Erling Eckersberg, created between 1808 and 1889. This artwork is a study in figure drawing, focusing on the intricate details of the female form. The young girl is depicted in a contemplative pose, with her head bowed and hands clasped together, suggesting a state of prayer or reflection. The realistic portrayal of the figure and her flowing dress showcases Eckersberg's masterful use of line and shading, characteristic of his neoclassical style. This drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, a testament to Eckersberg's significant contribution to Danish art history.
