Tre studier til en allegorisk siddende kvindefigur med et løftet Medusahoved i højre hånd 1798 - 1801

This pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, titled "Tre studier til en allegorisk siddende kvindefigur med et løftet Medusahoved i højre hånd," features three studies of a seated female figure holding aloft the severed head of Medusa. Abildgaard, known for his neoclassical style, uses bold lines and shading to create a sense of volume and weight, emphasizing the classical influence of Greek sculpture. The drawing, dating back to 1798-1801, is likely a preparatory study for a larger work and showcases Abildgaard’s mastery of figure drawing.
