Studier af en stående svensk dreng 1851

Wilhelm Marstrand, a prominent Danish artist, created this pencil drawing, "Studier af en stående svensk dreng" in 1851. The drawing depicts a young Swedish boy standing in profile, with detailed attention to his clothing and posture. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of realism and depth, highlighting the boy's youthful features. This study, likely made as preparatory work for a larger composition, offers a glimpse into Marstrand's meticulous approach to figure drawing.
