Udkast til Poul S. Christiansens gravmæle 1932 - 1935

"Udkast til Poul S. Christiansens gravmæle" (Draft for Poul S. Christiansens Tomb) is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1932 and 1935. The sketch, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a winged figure in profile, seemingly engaged in a gesture of creation or labor, possibly referencing the life and legacy of the individual for whom the tomb was intended. Stevns's expressive, gestural style and the unfinished nature of the sketch provide insight into his creative process and the conceptual stage of this monumental project.
