Antikt gadebillede. Formodentlig et forarbejde til Terentsbilledet med den lyttene Chremes 1743 - 1809

Nicolai Abildgaard's "Antikt gadebillede. Formodentlig et forarbejde til Terentsbilledet med den lyttene Chremes" is a preparatory drawing for his later painting, "The Listening Chremes" (1787). Created between 1743 and 1809, this drawing depicts an architectural setting with two buildings, one with a balcony and the other with multiple windows, highlighting the artist's meticulous observation of architectural details and the play of light and shadow. The drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the Danish artist's approach to architectural and figurative studies, which played a crucial role in his development as a prominent figure in Danish Neoclassicism.
