Søslag. 8 skibe 1746 - 1828

"Søslag. 8 skibe" (Naval Battle. 8 Ships) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist C.A. Lorentzen, created between 1746 and 1828. The drawing depicts a fleet of ships engaged in a naval battle, showcasing Lorentzen's skill in capturing the dynamism of maritime warfare. The simple yet expressive lines convey a sense of movement and tension, with smoke billowing from one of the ships, suggesting the heat of combat. This drawing, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into Lorentzen's artistic style and his interest in depicting historical events through a meticulous yet artistic lens.
