Jordemoderen. Studie til Pigen fra Andros. [Jordemoderen forlader Androspigens hus] 1743 - 1809

"Jordemoderen. Studie til Pigen fra Andros. [Jordemoderen forlader Androspigens hus]" is a study by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, dating back to 1743-1809. The drawing, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a woman in a flowing robe, seemingly exiting a building. The sketch, measuring 258mm x 316mm, is a preliminary study for Abildgaard's larger work "The Girl from Andros." Its delicate lines and emphasis on movement showcase the artist's focus on capturing a specific pose and drapery for his more finished painting.
