Kompositionsstudie 1879 - 1910

"Kompositionsstudie" is a study by Danish artist Oluf Hartmann, created between 1879 and 1910, and currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This small-scale drawing depicts a scene with three figures, likely a compositional study for a larger artwork. The figures are rendered with loose, gestural lines and shades of gray, suggesting a quick and spontaneous sketch. Hartmann’s work often focused on depicting human figures and daily life. The artist's short lifespan, from 1879 to 1910, resulted in a relatively small body of work. This study highlights Hartmann's skill in capturing fleeting moments and exploring the composition of human figures.
