Skitser af rådyr 1900 - 1905

"Skitser af rådyr" (Sketches of Roe Deer) is a graphite drawing on paper by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1900 and 1905. The work, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts two rough sketches of roe deer, showcasing Stevns's keen observation of animal anatomy. The loose, gestural lines capture the movement and form of the deer, demonstrating the artist's interest in capturing the essence of his subject in quick, expressive strokes. This study exemplifies Stevns's talent for animal portraiture and his commitment to capturing the natural world in his art.
