Christen Købke: Portrait of the sculptor H. E. Freund (1786-1840). 1837. Unsigned. Pencil on papir. Sheet size 12.8 x 16.8 cm. Portrait of the sculptor H. E. Freund (1786-1840). 1837. Unsigned. Verso inscribed in red ink "Købke, Portræt af H. E. Freund, 1837" and with pencil "2082/840". Pencil on papir. Sheet size 12.8 x 16.8 cm. This drawing is a sketch for the large full figure portrait of Freund, that Købke painted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in c.1838. Unlike the final portrait where Freund is depicted a bit absentminded with an introvert contemplative gaze, his look in this sketch is very intense and present, and he looks straight out at the viewer.
