Hvem har dog banket dig og kastet dig ud, nøgen, som du er... 1860

Lorenz Frølich created this untitled drawing circa sometime in the 19th century. Its delicate lines and circular vignettes present a narrative that invites us to contemplate the relationships between form and content. The composition is structured around a series of circular frames arranged in an ‘L’ shape. Each frame contains a scene, rendered in fine lines, that seems to depict moments of intimacy and conflict. The sparseness of the lines lends the work an unfinished quality which prompts us to consider the nature of representation itself. The circular forms, like windows into different worlds, offer a fragmented view of a larger story. By focusing on these isolated moments, Frølich invites us to piece together a narrative, questioning the stability of meaning and the role of the viewer in constructing it.
