Nemesis, tildækkende sine øjne af sorg 1743 - 1809

"Nemesis, tildækkende sine øjne af sorg" is a pen and ink drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard, a prominent Danish artist known for his Neoclassical style. The drawing, dated 1743-1809, features a winged figure, likely Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution, depicted in a sorrowful pose, her eyes covered by her hands. The inscription on the base reads "NEMESES" and is a subtle reminder of her role as a dispenser of justice. This piece provides a glimpse into Abildgaard's exploration of mythological themes and his refined use of line to capture emotional intensity.
