Maleren L.A. Ring 1895

"Maleren L.A. Ring" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Ludvig Find, completed in 1895. The artwork, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a portrait of the artist L.A. Ring, capturing a close-up view of his face and upper torso. The expressive lines of Find's drawing create a sense of depth and character in Ring's features, revealing his pensive expression. The inscription on the drawing, "Graut Afstøste ma mostko melancholico," further adds to the portrait's intimate nature. This sketch is a testament to Find's talent for capturing the essence of his subject in a simple yet evocative manner.
