To studiehoveder og en figur 1850 - 1899

"To studiehoveder og en figur" (Two Study Heads and a Figure), created by Lorenz Frølich between 1850 and 1899, is a detailed black and white drawing depicting a woman and two men. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. Frølich focuses on the features of each individual, creating a study in human physiognomy. The artwork is a prime example of 19th-century academic drawing, displaying careful observation and meticulous craftsmanship. The use of hatching and cross-hatching adds depth and texture to the figures, while the emphasis on their facial expressions evokes a sense of realism.
