Skitse af fiskere i båd 1881

"Skitse af fiskere i båd" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created in 1881. This quick sketch, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the essence of fishermen in a boat through a series of loose, gestural lines. Stevns, known for his maritime paintings, employed this sketch as a preparatory study, showcasing the artist's ability to capture movement and atmosphere with minimal detail. The simplicity of the lines and the inherent ambiguity of the composition invite the viewer to imagine the scene and the fishermen's activity.
