"Svævende Maria" is a red chalk drawing by Danish artist Hendrik Krock, depicting the Virgin Mary in a soaring pose, her hands clasped in prayer. This 18th-century artwork showcases Krock's skill in capturing the figure's dynamic movement and the delicate folds of her drapery. The drawing, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, exemplifies the artistic trends of the period and offers insight into Krock's artistic practice.
