Studier af ornamentbånd efter kalkmalerier, samt studie af kandelaber med farveangivelser 1906 - 1910

This 1906-1910 drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns (1864-1941) titled "Studier af ornamentbånd efter kalkmalerier, samt studie af kandelaber med farveangivelser" is a study of ornamental bands and a candlestick. The drawing, a page from an artist's sketchbook, shows a detailed rendering of the ornamental bands, with annotations for their original color scheme, as well as a sketch of a candlestick, likely for further development. The artwork, now at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Stevns's practice of detailed observation and exploration of decorative motifs.
