Skitse af hofteparti 1743 - 1809

This delicate pencil drawing, *Skitse af hofteparti*, is a study of the human form by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard. Executed between 1743 and 1809, it highlights the artist's keen interest in anatomical detail. The sketch, focusing on the hips and torso, demonstrates Abildgaard's mastery of line and his ability to capture the natural contours of the body. The work is a testament to the artist's dedication to academic study and his influence on Danish Neoclassicism. It's currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
