En olding i antik dragt, siddende på en taburet, i profil t.v. 1743 - 1809

This is a drawing of a seated figure by the Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809), titled "En olding i antik dragt, siddende på en taburet, i profil t.v.". The drawing is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. Created in the late 18th century, the piece showcases the artist's interest in classical antiquity, evident in the figure's toga and the simple, elegant lines of the drawing. The detailed portrayal of the figure in profile and their contemplative pose suggests a study of human anatomy and a dedication to realism.
