Studie af torso 1896

Niels Larsen Stevns' "Studie af torso" is a pencil sketch created in 1896. The artwork, part of the Statens Museum for Kunst collection, depicts a simplified, gestural study of a human torso. Stevns' use of hatching and contour lines, reminiscent of a classical approach, renders the anatomical details with a sense of dynamism and movement. This study, small in size, provides a glimpse into the artist's process and his interest in human form.
