Udkast til gravsted 1933 - 1934

"Udkast til gravsted" (Draft for a grave) is a small, detailed drawing by Niels Larsen Stevns, created in 1933-34. The artwork features a sketch of a grave with a cross and a simple floral arrangement. The drawing is made on grid paper and has a simple, almost childlike aesthetic, yet it conveys a sense of solemnity and contemplation. Stevns' work is often characterized by his focus on everyday life and his exploration of death and mortality, a theme evident in this piece, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
