Ned til Vandet vokste store Skræppeblade 1928

Fritz Syberg’s 1928 pencil drawing, "Ned til Vandet vokste store Skræppeblade," depicts several figures in a simplified, almost geometric style. The figures are rendered in a hazy, sketchy manner, with a focus on their overall forms and outlines, rather than detailed features. The title and the overall composition suggest a scene of nature, perhaps by a lake or a river, with the “great dock leaves” growing down by the water. This simple yet evocative drawing exemplifies Syberg’s distinctive artistic style and his interest in capturing the essence of the human figure and natural landscapes.
