"Studier af ørn" (Studies of Eagle) is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. This drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the artist's keen observation of the eagle's anatomy, particularly its wings and head. While the drawing is unfinished, it reveals the artist's process of studying the bird, potentially for future paintings or illustrations. Stevns, known for his skill in depicting animals, produced this sketch during his lifetime, from 1864 to 1941.
