Ærkeenglen Mikaels kamp med dragen 1933 - 1934

This ink drawing, titled "Ærkeenglen Mikaels kamp med dragen," is a study by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, dated 1933-1934. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene, likely inspired by the biblical story of the Archangel Michael battling a dragon. Stevns's signature expressive style is evident in the dynamic, swirling lines, which create a sense of movement and tension. The drawing's small scale emphasizes its intimate and personal nature, perhaps suggesting that it was a preparatory sketch for a larger work. Despite its simplicity, the drawing effectively conveys the power and intensity of the struggle between good and evil.
