Draperistudier til det 1838 udførte maleri: Hermods sendelse til Hel 1838

This charcoal drawing, "Draperistudier til det 1838 udførte maleri: Hermods sendelse til Hel," by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer (1816-1852) is a preparatory study for a larger painting. It depicts the folds and texture of a cloth, a common theme in the artist's work. This drawing, created in 1838, reveals Dreyer's meticulous attention to detail, which he carried over to his finished paintings, which are known for their realism and use of light and shadow. This study, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides insight into Dreyer's artistic process.
