Tre studier af en løveunge 1902 - 1906

"Tre studier af en løveunge" (Three studies of a lion cub), a pencil drawing by Svend Rathsack, showcases three quick sketches of a lion cub in various poses. The drawing is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and captures the artist's keen observation of animal anatomy. Rathsack, a Danish artist known for his animal studies, was likely fascinated by the powerful yet vulnerable nature of a lion cub, as depicted in his loose yet expressive lines. The study is a testament to his skill as a draftsman, demonstrating his ability to capture the essence of his subject with minimal detail.
