"Skitse af dyreskeletter" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a study of animal skeletons. The sketch is done on a sheet of brown paper, likely as a preliminary study for a larger work. The intricate details of the bones, partially obscured by the paper's texture, reveal Stevns' meticulous approach to anatomical observation, typical of his artistic practice.
