"Skitser af hønsefugle" (Sketches of Chickens) is a collection of preliminary sketches by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1900 and 1905. These sketches are a testament to Stevns's interest in the natural world and his meticulous approach to capturing the forms of his subjects. The delicate pencil lines suggest a quick but precise study of the chickens, revealing the artist's keen observation of their anatomy and movement. The work showcases the initial stages of Stevns's creative process, offering a glimpse into the mind of the artist as he envisioned the final composition of his more finished pieces. The sketches are held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, offering a unique opportunity to study the artist's working methods.
