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

"Udkast til "Kristus velsigner de små børn"" is a preliminary sketch created by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns between 1937 and 1938. The ink drawing, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a simplified scene of Jesus blessing children, likely inspired by the biblical narrative. Stevns's loose and gestural style, evident in the quick strokes and simplified forms, is typical of his approach to sketching and capturing fleeting moments. This sketch offers a glimpse into the creative process of a prominent Danish artist and his exploration of a cherished religious theme.
