Ansigtsskitse i profil, samt skitser af abe og abens hoved 1900 - 1905

"Ansigtsskitse i profil, samt skitser af abe og abens hoved" (Profile Face Sketch, and Sketches of a Monkey and the Monkey's Head) is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns between 1900 and 1905. This work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Stevns's keen observational skills and interest in the human figure. The drawing features a profile portrait of a human face alongside sketches of a monkey, capturing both the anatomical similarities and differences between the two species. This insightful study showcases Stevns's approach to understanding form and expression through quick, gestural strokes.
