Hoved, 'Den blonde efeb' (Akropolis museet inv. 689) 1911

Marie Henriques' 1911 painting "Hoved, 'Den blonde efeb'" depicts a bust of a young man with a characteristically sculpted hairstyle. The painting’s realistic style and subdued palette reflect Henriques' artistic approach to depicting classical sculpture in a contemporary context. This work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Henriques' exploration of the human form and her fascination with the aesthetics of ancient Greek art.
