To studier af gribbe, set forfra og fra siden 1864 - 1941

"To studier af gribbe, set forfra og fra siden" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns (1864-1941). This artwork, currently held by the Statens Museum for Kunst, captures two different perspectives of a griffon, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This study exemplifies Stevns' interest in anatomical detail and his use of line to depict form. The sketch's simple lines and the artist's handwritten notes on the page offer insights into Stevns' creative process.
