Fire figurstudier 1760 - 1780

"Fire figurstudier" is a pencil drawing on paper by Danish artist C.A. Lorentzen, created between 1760 and 1780. The drawing depicts four figures in various poses, likely study sketches for a larger composition. Lorentzen, known for his portraits and historical paintings, utilized this preliminary sketch format to refine his understanding of form and movement. The work, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), showcases the artist's keen observation and draftsmanship, a testament to the meticulous approach of 18th-century Danish art.
