Løse rids 1900 - 1905

"Løse rids" (Loose Strokes) is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1900 and 1905. This quick study, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's gestural drawing style. The loose lines and suggestive forms evoke a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of the artist's explorations of the human figure. Stevns, known for his expressive drawings, used these sketches as a way to capture fleeting moments and explore his artistic ideas.
