Sovende mand på en sofa. Halv figur 1875

"Sovende mand på en sofa. Halv figur" (Sleeping Man on a Sofa. Half Figure), a delicate pencil sketch by Danish artist L.A. Ring, dates back to 1875. The artwork portrays a man resting in a chair, his head slightly tilted back, suggesting peaceful slumber. Executed in a realist style, the drawing captures the subtle details of the sitter's form and the simple yet elegant lines of the chair, highlighting Ring's early mastery of figure and composition. This intimate portrayal of daily life is characteristic of Ring's artistic practice and offers a glimpse into his exploration of human subjects in natural settings.
