Kvinderne ved Kristi Grav 1870 - 1880

"Kvinderne ved Kristi Grav" (The Women at the Tomb of Christ) is a black and white drawing by an anonymous artist. The drawing depicts a classical scene of women visiting a tomb and an angel perched atop it, likely referencing the biblical story of the women finding the empty tomb after the resurrection of Jesus. This work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and is a prime example of the study of religious iconography in art. The small size of the drawing, measuring 141mm by 190mm, suggests it may have been a private sketch or study.
