Overskåret rids af en siddende kvinde. Samt noget der minder om nogle farveprøver med vandfarve 1743 - 1809

"Overskåret rids af en siddende kvinde. Samt noget der minder om nogle farveprøver med vandfarve," is a study by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard. This preliminary sketch, dated between 1743 and 1809, is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a seated woman, with some loose washes of watercolor on the left side of the composition. Abildgaard's work in the later half of the 18th century, influenced by the neoclassical ideals, aimed to create a more naturalistic approach to art.
