Blyantsrids 1848

"Blyantsrids" is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, created in 1848. The artwork, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, depicts a simple landscape with a couple of hills and a small, almost abstract, structure on the right. This sketch exemplifies Skovgaard's early work, characterized by a focus on nature and a restrained, yet sensitive approach to line and composition. The sketch's small dimensions and delicate lines suggest a study or preliminary work, hinting at the artist's creative process.
