"Stående abbed" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand created between 1810 and 1873. The drawing depicts a man in a long coat and hat, standing with his back to the viewer. It is a preparatory sketch for a larger work and is notable for its simple, yet expressive lines. This piece, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the artist's keen observation of human form and provides a glimpse into his artistic process.
