Studie af et bord med tæppe og et draperi-studie 1789 - 1792

"Studie af et bord med tæppe og et draperi-studie" is a preparatory drawing by Danish artist Jens Juel, dating from 1789 to 1792. This pencil study, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, focuses on the interplay of light and shadow on fabric. The detailed depiction of a draped cloth cascading from a table corner showcases Juel's mastery of capturing the textures and folds of fabric, a skill he would later use in his portraiture. The piece is a testament to Juel's meticulous approach and his dedication to the study of form.
