Højre side af gravkonen 1895

"Højre side af gravkonen" (Right side of the grave woman) is a preparatory sketch for a larger work by Danish artist Fritz Syberg. The drawing is executed in graphite on paper and depicts a partially visible figure, likely a woman, lying in a coffin. The details of the figure and the surrounding scene are obscured, suggesting that this is an early stage in the creative process. The grid lines visible on the paper indicate that Syberg was using a technique common among artists of the late 19th century, where they would draw on a gridded surface to accurately scale their work.
