Krøbling. Figurstudier 1810 - 1873

Wilhelm Marstrand's "Krøbling. Figurstudier" (1810-1873), a pencil sketch housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a figure study of a man with a limp. The detailed and expressive lines of the drawing create a realistic depiction of the figure, capturing the subject's physicality and posture. This study, likely executed as part of Marstrand's artistic practice, exemplifies his meticulous attention to anatomical detail and his ability to translate human form onto paper. This piece offers insight into Marstrand's process and highlights the importance of figure studies in the development of an artist's technique and understanding of the human body.
