Figurstudier 1798 - 1863

Eugène Delacroix's "Figurstudier" is a pencil sketch on paper, created sometime between 1798 and 1863. It is a study of the human form, depicting a figure in a dynamic pose with exaggerated lines and gestures. The sketch is characteristic of Delacroix's interest in capturing movement and emotion, foreshadowing his later, more dramatic works. Currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this piece showcases Delacroix's early explorations in capturing form and motion.
