Fire studier kvinde i en sejlbåd 1896 - 1897

Agnes Slott-Møller sketched "Fire studier kvinde i en sejlbåd" with graphite on paper. Slott-Møller was a central figure in the Danish Symbolist movement at the turn of the century. As a woman artist in a male-dominated art world, Slott-Møller challenged conventional gender roles through her artistic expression. The sketch offers a glimpse into Slott-Møller's creative process, revealing her interest in capturing the essence of her subjects. The woman in the sailboat evokes themes of exploration, freedom, and independence, inviting viewers to contemplate the possibilities of female agency and self-discovery. The woman is at sea, a liminal space, and her journey becomes symbolic of the broader journey towards gender equality and empowerment. Slott-Møller seems to ask us, what does it feel like to chart one's own course?
