Fuglerids 1896

"Fuglerids" (Birds) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns created in 1896. The drawing, part of a sketchbook, showcases Stevns’ interest in capturing the natural world, particularly birds. The simple lines and delicate strokes suggest a quick sketch made in the field, capturing the essence of the birds' forms and movement. The artist's keen observation of nature is evident in the subtle details of their anatomy. This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Stevns’ artistic process and his dedication to naturalism.
