Liggende hund 1864 - 1941

"Liggende hund" (Lying Dog) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1864 and 1941. This small, intimate sketch, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, captures a dog in a simple, yet expressive pose. Stevns's drawing demonstrates his ability to convey form and movement with delicate lines and shading. The artwork's simple composition and the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the animal make "Liggende hund" a fine example of Stevns's skill as a draftsman.
