Siddende kvinde med det venstre knæ rejst 1743 - 1809

This pen and ink drawing titled "Siddende kvinde med det venstre knæ rejst" (Seated Woman with her Left Knee Raised) depicts a woman in a simple dress, seated with her left knee raised. The drawing is a study for a larger composition and is characteristic of the work of Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, who was a leading figure in the Neoclassical movement. Abildgaard's work often focused on idealized figures, and this drawing, created between 1743 and 1809, exemplifies his interest in classical themes and compositions. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
