Plantestudie 1906 - 1910

"Plantestudie" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1906 and 1910. The artwork, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a detailed study of a plant, likely a dandelion, with a focus on its leaves. Stevns' intricate lines capture the delicate forms and textures of the plant, showcasing his keen observation of nature and skill in botanical illustration. The small scale of the drawing (161 mm x 96 mm) further emphasizes the artist's meticulous approach to detail. This intimate study exemplifies the artist's dedication to realism and his interest in the natural world.
