Ansigtsskitser 1906

"Ansigtsskitser" (Face Sketches) is a collection of eight sketches by Niels Larsen Stevns, a Danish artist who lived from 1864 to 1941. Created in 1906, these pencil drawings on paper demonstrate Stevns's skillful rendering of human features. The sketches, displayed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, offer a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his keen observation of the human form. The intimate size of the work (163 mm x 97 mm) emphasizes the artist's attention to detail. These sketches provide a fascinating insight into Stevns's artistic development and his exploration of human physiognomy.
