Portræt af en maler. (Selvportræt) 1749 - 1790

Erik Pauelsen's "Portræt af en maler. (Selvportræt)" is a self-portrait executed in graphite on paper. Dated between 1749 and 1790, the drawing, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, shows a young Pauelsen with a brush in hand, looking slightly off to the side. It is a small work, measuring just 145 mm in height and 108 mm in width, and the artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner. This sketch provides insight into the working life of a Danish artist during the 18th century.
