En konge modtager en krans af en knælende kvinde 1743 - 1809

"En konge modtager en krans af en knælende kvinde" is a pen and ink drawing by Nicolai Abildgaard, one of Denmark's most important Neoclassical artists. The artwork depicts a crowned king seated on a stool and receiving a laurel wreath from a kneeling woman, a scene likely inspired by classical mythology or history. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and depth in the composition, highlighting the dramatic gesture of the woman offering the wreath. This drawing is a testament to Abildgaard's skill in capturing both the grace and power of the human form.
