Loftet. Udkast til Riddersalen 1790s

Nicolai Abildgaard's "Loftet. Udkast til Riddersalen" (1790s) is a detailed architectural drawing showcasing a design for a ceiling in the Knight's Hall. The drawing, a draft for a grand project, is executed in black and white ink with hints of yellow watercolor. The intricate design features a central dome surrounded by four square panels. The dome, adorned with concentric circles, is framed by radiating lines, giving the illusion of depth. The four panels, each filled with a unique geometric pattern, contribute to the overall symmetry and elegance of the design. The delicate lines and precise details demonstrate Abildgaard’s keen eye for architectural design, reflecting the neoclassical style prevalent in the late 18th century.
