Nicolai Abildgaard's "Diogene beder Alexander gå til side så solen kan skinne på ham" is a 1743-1809 pen and ink drawing on paper. It is a small-scale study depicting the philosopher Diogenes, known for his simple lifestyle, asking Alexander the Great to move out of his sunlight. Abildgaard captures a moment of interaction between the two historical figures, highlighting Diogenes' boldness and Alexander's surprising willingness to oblige. The sketch demonstrates Abildgaard's skill in capturing movement and the dynamism of the scene.
