Johan Thomas Lundbye's 1846 pencil drawing, "Engel set fra ryggen - efter Fra Angelico," depicts an angel viewed from behind, inspired by the works of Fra Angelico. This study, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Lundbye's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the flowing lines of the angel's drapery and the intricate patterns on its wings. The drawing offers a glimpse into Lundbye's artistic process and his admiration for earlier Renaissance masters.
