Skitser af dyr, bl.a. hyæner 1900 - 1905

"Skitser af dyr, bl.a. hyæner" is a collection of sketches by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, dating back to 1900-1905. This particular sketchbook page, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Stevns's masterful use of graphite to capture the essence of various animals. The prominent hyena sketch, rendered in a dynamic, almost upside-down pose, stands out with its detailed markings and expressive form. This page offers a glimpse into the artist's process, revealing his keen eye for observation and anatomical understanding. The sketches, in their raw and unfinished form, provide a unique insight into the development of Stevns's artistic vocabulary.
