Figurrids 1746 - 1828

"Figurrids" is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist C.A. Lorentzen, created between 1746 and 1828. The work depicts a single figure in a loose, gestural style, suggesting a quick study or preparatory drawing for a larger composition. The delicate lines and subtle shading capture the essence of the figure's pose and movement, highlighting Lorentzen's skill as a draughtsman. The sketch is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offering insight into Lorentzen's creative process and the development of his artistic style. The simplicity and directness of the drawing make it a compelling example of figure studies from the 18th century.
