Skystudie 1872

"Skystudie" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, created in 1872. This intimate, small-scale work, measuring only 215 mm by 130 mm, is a study of clouds, likely executed from direct observation. The delicate lines and subtle shading capture the ephemeral nature of the sky, characteristic of Skovgaard's interest in naturalistic observation and his fascination with light and atmosphere. The drawing is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, providing a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his ongoing exploration of nature.
