"Studie af næsebjørn" is a graphite drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. Created between 1864 and 1941, the piece showcases a detailed study of a coati, capturing its distinct features and anatomy. The artist's meticulous pencil strokes, evident in the textured fur and anatomical details, demonstrate his dedication to capturing the animal's essence. This drawing exemplifies Stevns's talent for naturalistic observation, a common theme throughout his artistic career.
