Træstudier 1830 - 1833

"Træstudier" (Tree Studies), a work by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer (1816-1852) is a study of trees created between 1830 and 1833. The artwork, currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts three trees with a simple yet detailed style and is executed in pen and ink. The trees are rendered with emphasis on their structure and form, demonstrating the artist's keen observation of nature. This artwork reflects Dreyer's interest in the natural world and is a testament to his talent as a draftsman. The work, measuring 197 mm by 304 mm, exemplifies the detailed study of natural subjects that became popular in Denmark during the early 19th century.
