Studier af får 1864 - 1941

"Studier af får" (Studies of Sheep) is a collection of sketches by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, dating back to the early 20th century. The work, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Stevns's interest in animal anatomy and form, captured in swift, gestural lines. The graphite sketches show various sheep in different poses, offering a glimpse into the artist's observational process. These studies, while appearing simple, reveal Stevns's keen eye for capturing the essence of his subjects through dynamic lines and subtle shading.
