Kirkeinteriør 1896

"Kirkeinteriør" (Church Interior), a pencil drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created in 1896, is a minimalist depiction of a church's interior space. Stevns, known for his architectural drawings, uses simple lines and shading to suggest the vaulted ceiling and a single window. The drawing's subtle lines and muted tones evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, hinting at the atmosphere found within a church. This piece, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Stevns's approach to architectural representation and the meditative quality he imbues into his work.
