Udkast til "Kristus velsigner de små børn" 1937 - 1938

"Udkast til 'Kristus velsigner de små børn'" is a preliminary sketch created between 1937 and 1938 by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. This small drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene of Jesus blessing children, capturing the artist's initial exploration of the composition. The simple, yet expressive lines and the use of hatching give the sketch a sense of movement and immediacy. This artwork showcases the artist's preliminary process and his exploration of the biblical theme. The sketch is a valuable insight into the development of Stevns's artistic process and his commitment to religious subject matter.
