"Engle vælter stenen fra graven" (Angels Roll Away the Stone from the Tomb), a 1933-1934 ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, is a dynamic and expressive work that exemplifies the artist's exploration of religious themes. The piece, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a pivotal moment from the Christian narrative, showcasing Stevns's distinctive style characterized by bold lines and energetic brushwork. This small-scale drawing is a testament to Stevns's ability to convey emotion and drama through simplified forms, making it a compelling example of his artistic approach.
