Tre figurer i antik klædedragt 1743 - 1809

This pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard features three figures in classical garb. The figures are likely a study for a larger work, as their poses are dynamic and expressive. The artist's signature and a short inscription appear in the lower right corner, suggesting a connection to ancient Rome or Greece. The drawing was completed between 1743 and 1809, during Abildgaard's prolific career and provides insight into his artistic process. The piece, currently housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's mastery of line and his interest in classical themes.
