En svævende mandsfigur med en krone i højre hånd 1743 - 1809

This pen and ink drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard depicts a figure in mid-air, holding a crown in his right hand and a sword in his left. Created between 1743 and 1809, the piece is a study in dynamic movement and classical form. The figure's flowing drapery and outstretched arms suggest a sense of both power and vulnerability, typical of Abildgaard's exploration of Neoclassical aesthetics. This drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the Danish artist's skill in capturing the human form through simple lines and shading.
