Udkast til portræt i helfigur. Forarbejde til Chr. VI.s familiebillede (Rosenborg)? Frederik d. V. som kronprins 1742 - 1745

This charcoal drawing by Marcus Tuscher, created between 1742 and 1745, depicts Frederik V of Denmark as crown prince in a full-length portrait pose. The sketch, likely a preparatory study for a larger family portrait, shows the prince standing, his hand resting on a chair. The drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into Tuscher's artistic process and the development of his portraiture style during the Rococo period. The loose and gestural lines of the sketch highlight the artist's keen eye for anatomy and form.
