Studie af Bertel Thorvaldsen efter maleri på Frederiksborg 1930 - 1938

This pencil sketch, "Studie af Bertel Thorvaldsen efter maleri på Frederiksborg", was created by Niels Larsen Stevns between 1930 and 1938. It is a study of the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, based on a painting at Frederiksborg Palace. The sketch shows Thorvaldsen's head and shoulders, with a focus on capturing the likeness and features. Stevns's use of hatching and cross-hatching gives the drawing a sense of volume and texture. This work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
