Studier af paradisfugl 1864 - 1941

"Studier af paradisfugl" is a study of a bird of paradise by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. The drawing is a detailed study of the bird’s form, and shows the artist's mastery of line and detail. The artist’s interest in the natural world is evident in his choice of subject, and the artwork provides a glimpse into his working process. This piece, created between 1864 and 1941, is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing is likely part of a larger sketchbook filled with various studies and sketches, as it appears to be on a page of a bound book. The artwork is a valuable example of Stevns's skill as a draftsman.
