Lette blyants rids 1896

"Lette blyants rids" (Light Pencil Strokes) is an 1896 artwork by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. This minimalist piece, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, consists of faint pencil marks on a blank page, demonstrating Stevns' exploration of the subtle nuances of line and form in his art. The small scale of the work (101 mm x 168 mm) further enhances the delicate nature of the pencil strokes, inviting viewers to contemplate the essence of artistic expression in its most minimal form.
