Danaidernes straf 1783 - 1816

"Danaidernes straf" (The Punishment of the Danaids), created by C.G. Kratzenstein Stub between 1783 and 1816, is a delicate pencil drawing depicting a scene from Greek mythology. The artwork features a group of women, the Danaids, who are condemned to eternally fill water jars that leak. The drawing's intricate lines and delicate shading create a sense of sorrow and futility. This work is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
