Forarbejde til maleriet: Danmark og Norge hylder Chr. VI (brændt med Christiansborg 1794) 1746 - 1749

This drawing, *Forarbejde til maleriet: Danmark og Norge hylder Chr. VI (brændt med Christiansborg 1794)*, is a preparatory study for a larger painting by Danish artist Marcus Tuscher. Created between 1746 and 1749, it depicts King Christian VI of Denmark riding a horse and being welcomed by the allegorical figures of Denmark and Norway. The work exemplifies the Rococo style through its emphasis on ornate details, a playful composition, and the use of light and shadow. This drawing was unfortunately destroyed in the fire at Christiansborg Palace in 1794, but fortunately, it survives in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
