Dakpannen 1875

"Dakpannen" is a pencil sketch by George Clausen from 1875. It features two distinct studies on a single sheet of paper, rendered in loose, gestural lines. One depicts a group of clustered shapes resembling tiles or roof slates, while the other is a more abstract, flowing form that could suggest a plant or branch. The sketch exemplifies Clausen's early exploration of form and composition through informal, spontaneous studies, a common practice for artists seeking to capture the essence of a subject.
