Dyreskitser 1864 - 1941

"Dyreskitser" is a sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created sometime between 1864 and 1941. This graphite drawing on paper, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, displays an informal study of animal forms. Stevns's loose lines and gestural marks suggest a quick and intuitive exploration of animal anatomy, possibly capturing the artist's fleeting observations of nature. The drawing, with its unrefined and unpolished style, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the animal world.
