Portrætstudie af malerinden Ellen Olrik, med bøjet hoved, 7/8-profil mod venstre 1926 - 1930

This pencil sketch by Edvard Weie, "Portrætstudie af malerinden Ellen Olrik, med bøjet hoved, 7/8-profil mod venstre," is a quick, expressive portrayal of the Danish painter Ellen Olrik. Created between 1926 and 1930, the drawing captures Olrik in a contemplative pose, her head slightly bowed, her face turned in a three-quarter profile towards the left. Weie's loose, gestural lines suggest a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, characteristic of his style. This intimate portrait is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, and exemplifies Weie's talent for capturing likeness and emotion through simple, yet powerful, strokes.
