Udkast til Frigørelsesrelieffet på Frihedsstøtten 1791 - 1794

This is a preliminary sketch, *Udkast til Frigørelsesrelieffet på Frihedsstøtten,* for the *Freedom Monument*, created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard in 1791-1794. The sketch depicts a seated woman in classical drapery, reaching out towards a standing male figure, seemingly offering him liberation. This is a study for a bas-relief that would have been featured on the monument, depicting themes of freedom and liberation. The sketch is a testament to Abildgaard's meticulous process and the enduring legacy of this monument in Danish art history.
