"Studie af en mand, der ligger på en højbænk" is a charcoal drawing by Danish artist Hendrik Krock, completed between 1735 and 1764. The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man reclining on a couch, his form subtly outlined with charcoal. The simple composition, emphasized by the draping sheet, exemplifies the artist's focus on naturalism and anatomical accuracy. Krock's study, despite its small scale of 508 mm x 406 mm, reveals a profound understanding of human form and light, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium.
