To studier af liggende kvindelig model 1838 - 1840

"To studier af liggende kvindelig model" (Studies of Reclining Female Model) is a graphite drawing created by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand between 1838 and 1840. This sketch, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features two studies of a nude female figure. Marstrand meticulously rendered the model in various poses, capturing the human form with anatomical precision and an emphasis on light and shadow. The artist’s meticulous detail in this study provides a glimpse into his artistic process and his dedication to anatomical accuracy, which would later characterize his renowned history paintings.
