Paris og de tre gudinder 1810 - 1873

"Paris og de tre gudinder" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, completed between 1810 and 1873. The drawing depicts the Greek mythological scene of the Judgement of Paris, where Paris is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess amongst Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Marstrand's sketch is a study for a larger painting, capturing the essence of this famous story with simple lines and careful composition. The work, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Marstrand's artistic process and his fascination with classical mythology.
