Plantestudie 1906 - 1910

"Plantestudie," a pen and ink drawing created between 1906 and 1910 by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, captures the delicate beauty of nature in a minimalist style. The drawing, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a single plant form rendered with fine lines, highlighting the intricate details of the leaves and their radial arrangement. This study exemplifies Stevns's approach to capturing the essence of natural forms through precise, expressive lines, a characteristic of his botanical works.
