To studier af liggende løvinde 1856 - 1933

This pencil drawing, "To studier af liggende løvinde," by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, depicts two studies of a reclining lioness. Created between 1856 and 1933, the work showcases Skovgaard's keen observation of animal anatomy, using delicate lines to capture the lioness's form and musculature. The simplified and detailed sketches suggest Skovgaard's interest in both accurate representation and artistic expression. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's exploration of the natural world through his skillful draftsmanship.
