Kvadreret udkast til et strandlandskab med skov næsten ned til bredden, hvor man ser tre børn, en fjerde er vadet i vandet. 1817 - 1875

This sketch, "Kvadreret udkast til et strandlandskab med skov næsten ned til bredden, hvor man ser tre børn, en fjerde er vadet i vandet," by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard (1817-1875), is a study for a larger landscape painting. Drawn on blue paper with a grid overlay, it depicts a coastal scene with a forest reaching almost to the water's edge, and four children playing in the water and on the beach. The sketch's focus on composition, perspective, and the placement of figures within the landscape is characteristic of Skovgaard's meticulous approach to art. The work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
