Kompositionsskitse, til relief? 1932 - 1935

This graphite sketch, "Kompositionsskitse, til relief?", was created by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns between 1932 and 1935. The drawing, held in the Statens Museum for Kunst, is likely a preliminary study for a relief sculpture, exhibiting the artist's compositional exploration for the piece. Stevns, known for his bold and expressive style, utilizes gestural lines to capture the essence of his subject, leaving room for interpretation and emphasizing the dynamism of the composition. The sketch's abstract quality and focus on form and line are characteristic of modern art movements prevalent during the early 20th century.
