Udkast til Ester Balles gravmæle 1906

This is a preliminary sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns for a grave monument for Esther Balles, dated 1906. The sketch includes a design for the monument's base, featuring a depiction of a braided rope pattern, and a rectangular inscription panel with the words "Esther Balles, F.Helveg-Larsen 1881-1906, Min Stoltov Herken". The work is a rare glimpse into the artistic process of monument design and is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
