Skitse af en rustning, hjelm, skjold(?) og del af en ringbrynje 1905 - 1907

"Skitse af en rustning, hjelm, skjold(?) og del af en ringbrynje," is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1905 and 1907. The artwork depicts a study of a medieval suit of armor, featuring a helmet, shield, and chainmail. The loose, gestural lines of the sketch convey a sense of movement and the artist's focused observation of the armor's form. The work, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Stevns's artistic process and his fascination with historical subjects. The sketch is a valuable example of Stevns's contribution to the artistic understanding of historical armor and its depiction.
