Siddende kvindelig model 1910 - 1914

Harald Giersing created "Siddende kvindelig model" with pencil on paper. The drawing presents a seated female figure, its composition emphasizing form and structure over realistic depiction. The artist employs a network of lines and shading to define the model's contours and volume. Notice how Giersing uses dense, cross-hatched pencil strokes to create areas of shadow, lending a sense of depth to the figure. The lines are not merely descriptive; they are constructive, building the form from the inside out. The sketch also destabilizes conventional expectations of finish, inviting us to consider the process of creation itself. Through its emphasis on line and form, Giersing invites us to consider how the very act of drawing can reveal fundamental aspects of perception and representation. This is a process of inquiry, one where the artist and viewer are active participants in the construction of meaning.
