Magnus Enckell's "Luonnos teokseen Kultakausi" (translated as "Sketch for the Work Golden Age") is a preparatory sketch created by the Finnish symbolist painter Magnus Enckell (1870–1925). Enckell was a prominent figure in Finnish art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his contributions to Symbolism and his role in shaping the Golden Age of Finnish art.

This particular sketch is associated with Enckell's work on the fresco "Kultakausi" ("The Golden Age"), which was part of a larger decorative project for the National Museum of Finland in Helsinki. The fresco was completed in collaboration with other notable Finnish artists, including Eero Järnefelt and Akseli Gallen-Kallela, as part of a commission to decorate the museum's grand hall. The project aimed to celebrate Finnish history, mythology, and cultural identity during a period of growing national consciousness.

"Luonnos teokseen Kultakausi" reflects Enckell's characteristic style, which often combined a muted color palette with a focus on the human figure and symbolic themes. The sketch likely served as a preparatory study for the final fresco, allowing Enckell to experiment with composition, form, and thematic elements. While the exact details of the sketch's imagery may vary, it is consistent with the broader themes of the "Kultakausi" fresco, which depicts an idealized vision of a harmonious and flourishing society.

Enckell's work on the National Museum project is significant within the context of Finnish art history, as it represents a collaborative effort by leading artists of the time to create a visual narrative that resonated with Finland's cultural aspirations. The frescoes in the National Museum remain an important example of early 20th-century Finnish art and are considered a highlight of the building's architectural and artistic heritage.

Further details about the specific content and stylistic features of "Luonnos teokseen Kultakausi" are limited, as sketches and preparatory works are often less documented than completed pieces. However, the sketch is an important part of Enckell's artistic process and provides insight into his approach to large-scale, symbolic compositions.
