Skitse af en offerscene 1815

"Skitse af en offerscene" (Sketch of a Sacrifice Scene), a delicate pencil sketch by C.G. Kratzenstein Stub, is a study for a larger painting. Created in 1815, the year before the artist's untimely death, this work demonstrates his skill in capturing movement and emotion with subtle lines. The composition focuses on a figure kneeling in prayer, their arms raised towards the sky. The surrounding figures and setting, barely visible through the faint lines, suggest a scene of sacrifice, perhaps a biblical narrative. This drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a poignant reminder of Kratzenstein Stub's talent and the unfinished potential of his artistic journey.
