Skitser til: Selv i dødens stund vaager Moderkærligheden over barnets tarv 1860

This pencil sketch by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich (1820-1908) is a study for a larger artwork titled "Selv i dødens stund vaager Moderkærligheden over barnets tarv" ("Even in Death's Hour, Motherly Love Watches Over the Child's Needs"). Created in 1860, the sketch features three separate studies of a mother mourning over a child, each capturing different angles and perspectives. The composition and the subject matter are characteristic of Frølich's work, which often explored themes of love, loss, and family. This sketch, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and the evolution of his ideas.
