En stående draperet kvindefigur 1743 - 1809

Nicolai Abildgaard's "En stående draperet kvindefigur" is a pen and ink drawing of a standing female figure draped in a flowing garment, possibly a classical goddess. The figure holds a staff or a knife in one hand and a circular object in the other. The detailed depiction of the drapery and the figure's pose suggest a study for a larger work. This drawing, created between 1743 and 1809, exemplifies Abildgaard's interest in classical art and his skill in capturing the human form with expressive lines.
