Skitser af figurer i bevægelse og figurgrupper 1864 - 1941

This 19th-century drawing by Niels Larsen Stevns, titled “Skitser af figurer i bevægelse og figurgrupper,” is a study of figures in motion. This pencil sketch, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the artist’s observations of everyday life. The simplicity of the lines suggests a fleeting moment, as if the artist quickly captured the essence of the figures. The work demonstrates Stevns' interest in capturing the dynamic movements of everyday life and his skillful use of line to convey form and movement. The numerous sketches on the page, depicting different poses and perspectives, provide a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
