Udkast til "Kristus velsigner de små børn" 1937 - 1938

"Udkast til "Kristus velsigner de små børn"" is a preliminary sketch by Niels Larsen Stevns, a Danish artist known for his expressive style, created between 1937 and 1938. This small-scale artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene of Jesus blessing children, showcasing Stevns's mastery of line work and the dynamics of a crowd. The sketch's loose, gestural lines and simplified forms capture the energy and movement of the figures, hinting at the powerful emotions of the biblical scene. The artwork is a testament to Stevns's ongoing creative process and exploration of religious themes in his art.
