Studie af gående isbjørn, set bagfra 1864 - 1941

This pencil sketch, titled "Studie af gående isbjørn, set bagfra," is a quick study by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1864 and 1941. It shows a polar bear in motion, captured in a single dynamic pose from behind. The artist used a loose, gestural line to capture the animal's movement, giving the impression of a swift and powerful stride. This work is a testament to Stevns' ability to depict nature with a sense of both detail and dynamism. It is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
