Plantestudie 1810 - 1848

"Plantestudie" is a delicate pencil drawing by Danish artist Christen Købke, created between 1810 and 1848. This small-scale work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Købke's meticulous observation of nature. The drawing captures the subtle details of a cluster of plants, their stems and leaves rendered with precise strokes that convey a sense of both fragility and resilience. The drawing's simplicity and focus on the natural world are characteristic of Købke's artistic style, which often emphasized realism and a connection to the Danish landscape.
