Kompositionsudkast til portræt i hel figur af Frederik den sjette som ung kronprins. Stående ved et bord, en face mod venstre 1781

This is a preliminary sketch for a portrait of Frederik VI as a young crown prince, drawn by the Danish artist Jens Juel in 1781. It depicts the future King in full-length, standing at a table. Juel's preliminary sketches are often characterized by loose lines and gestural draftsmanship, as seen in this work, which is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen. The work reveals insights into Juel’s process, providing a glimpse into his approach to composition and figural representation.
