Studier af heste 1864 - 1941

This is a study of horses by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created sometime between 1864 and 1941. The quick, gestural lines of the pencil drawing capture the movement and anatomy of the animal with a dynamic energy. The artist's interest in capturing the essence of movement through sketching is evident in the bold lines and the simplification of form. The artwork is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing the artist's practice and contributing to the museum's collection of Danish art. This piece represents a moment in the artist's artistic exploration of the subject of horses, demonstrating the artist's process and technical skills.
