A delicate, elongated female figure captured in warm red conté, drawn with the quiet confidence of classical academy training. This life study was created in 1941, likely within a Danish art school setting, and still carries the soft tactility of the studio: pinholes from its original mounting, gently foxed paper, and a beautifully aged ochre tone.
The artist — signed Chr. R. Krøyer — worked with a refined Nordic sensibility: slender proportions, subtle movement, and a clear understanding of anatomy. It’s a piece that feels both intimate and architectural, like a whisper of a moment held still.
Framed in a simple wooden frame, the drawing stands as a timeless study of form, elegance, and restraint.
