"Studier af heste" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, dating from 1864-1941. This small-scale work (162 mm x 98 mm) is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and is a study of horses. The artist’s sketch reveals the fleeting impressions of the animal’s form and movement with subtle and dynamic lines. This delicate pencil sketch is a testament to Stevns's mastery of capturing the essence of his subject with a few simple strokes.
