En stående bondedreng i træsko 1743 - 1809

"En stående bondedreng i træsko" (A Standing Peasant Boy in Wooden Shoes), created between 1743 and 1809 by Nicolai Abildgaard, is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting a young peasant boy in profile. The boy is standing tall with his arms crossed, showcasing the artist's masterful handling of line and form. The drawing, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a prime example of Abildgaard's talent for capturing the essence of everyday life through a simple yet expressive style. This artwork is a testament to the artist's interest in observing and depicting the people of his time.
