En moder og hendes lille pige 1777

"En moder og hendes lille pige" (A Mother and Her Little Daughter) is a delicate drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, completed in 1777. This pencil and watercolor piece captures the intimate relationship between a mother and her child. The figures are rendered in a simple yet expressive style, with the mother's outstretched hand and the daughter's gaze creating a sense of connection. The drawing is an example of Abildgaard's early work and showcases his interest in classical themes and the human form. This drawing currently resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
