Tre mandshoveder 17th century

"Tre mandshoveder" is an anonymous 17th-century drawing of three male heads, likely a study for a larger composition. The three heads are depicted in different angles, showcasing the artist's keen observation of human anatomy and expression. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the mastery of draftsmanship during this era, highlighting the artistic value placed on meticulous detail and study. This black and white drawing, measuring 145 mm high and 279 mm wide, embodies the technical skill of the artist, evident in the subtle shading and rendering of the faces. The work is an excellent example of the "study" genre in art, where artists use drawings as a means to practice and explore their subject matter.
