These two ink drawings by Bengtolle Oldinger capture a remarkable simplicity and grace, showcasing his skill in distilling form and movement into minimal yet expressive lines. Each piece radiates a sense of intimacy, focusing on human figures in quiet, contemplative moments.

The left drawing, with a seated figure, suggests a mood of introspection, while the right, portraying a person standing with a stick or rod, conveys a sense of readiness or pause. Oldinger's work is known for its ability to create a narrative with very little—just a few strokes bringing these figures to life. The warm-toned mounts and gold frames complement the monochromatic palette, adding a touch of sophistication without overpowering the delicate nature of the works.
