Udkast til bibelsk motiv. Den bodsottige kvinde 1864 - 1941

This pencil sketch, "Udkast til bibelsk motiv. Den bodsottige kvinde," is a preliminary study by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, dated between 1864 and 1941. The loose, gestural lines suggest the figure of a woman, possibly a biblical figure, in a state of sorrow. Stevns, known for his expressive style and emphasis on capturing the human condition, utilizes this quick sketch to explore the emotional weight of his subject. The drawing, preserved in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his interest in religious themes.
