This 1795-1800 drawing by J.F. Clemens, titled "Sergel arbejder i sit atelier med at hugge en statue af Minerva," depicts the Swedish sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel working on a statue of Minerva in his studio. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the artist in a moment of creative concentration. The circular frame and the meticulous detail, rendered in pencil, are characteristic of Clemens' artistic style, emphasizing the classical influence that was prevalent in the late 18th century.
