Notater, om bl.a. skønheden, samt indklæbet lærred med matematiske formler, ornament og malet ramme med bue 1913 - 1914

This work by J.A. Jerichau (II) from 1913-1914 titled "Notater, om bl.a. skønheden, samt indklæbet lærred med matematiske formler, ornament og malet ramme med bue" is a unique example of a sketch or study in which Jerichau combined textual notes with a sketched geometric frame. The piece suggests a combination of abstract and symbolic exploration, reflecting the artist’s artistic thinking. The artwork, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, reveals Jerichau's creative process, incorporating elements of mathematics, ornament, and architectural design. The frame’s rounded arch and intricate details suggest an interest in classical and geometric principles, while the text adds a personal and intellectual dimension to the composition. The work’s relatively small dimensions (337 mm x 207 mm) enhance its intimate and introspective nature, inviting the viewer to engage with the artist’s thoughts and creative impulses.
