Udkast til "Kristus helbreder en spedalsk" 1937 - 1938

"Udkast til "Kristus helbreder en spedalsk" is a 1937-1938 ink drawing on paper by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. This preliminary sketch is a quick study for a larger composition depicting the biblical story of Jesus healing a leper. The work demonstrates Stevns's expressive and gestural style, characterized by simplified forms and fluid lines, which are typical of his later works. The drawing’s composition and details highlight Stevns's interest in capturing a sense of movement and emotion within a single moment, and his mastery of black and white contrasts. The piece is part of the collection of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
