To slanke træer 1870

"To slanke træer" (Slender Trees), a pencil drawing by P.C. Skovgaard, is a study of two trees. Dated 1870, it was created during the artist's prolific career, which spanned from 1817 to 1875. This delicate sketch, part of a larger sketchbook, showcases Skovgaard's precise observation of nature. The simple composition highlights the graceful forms of the trees, with delicate lines capturing the texture of the bark and the sway of the branches. It is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
