En kravlende, nøgen dreng 1743 - 1809

"En kravlende, nøgen dreng" is a pencil drawing by Jens Juel, a prominent Danish portrait painter. Created between 1743 and 1809, the artwork showcases a simple yet striking depiction of a nude baby boy crawling on the floor. The delicate lines and subtle shading highlight the child's innocent form and movement, capturing a fleeting moment of childhood development. This drawing reflects Juel's keen observation of human anatomy and his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects, often seen in his more elaborate portrait paintings.
