Kompositionsudkast til Blichers novelle "Vinhandleren og Herremanden", p. 198 - Kaj Lykke gør holdt foran Jens Bangs stenhus, kvadreret 1932 - 1935

This is a sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, known for his expressive line work and dynamic compositions. "Kompositionsudkast til Blichers novelle "Vinhandleren og Herremanden", p. 198 - Kaj Lykke gør holdt foran Jens Bangs stenhus, kvadreret" (Composition Sketch for Blicher's Novel "The Wine Merchant and the Lord of the Manor", p. 198 - Kaj Lykke Stops in Front of Jens Bang's Stone House, Squared) depicts a scene from a Danish novel. The sketchy nature of the work, with its rough lines and spontaneous gestures, reveals the artist’s creative process as he explores the composition and figures for a potential painting. The use of a grid indicates Stevns’ methodical approach to composition, a common practice among artists in the early 20th century.
