Skitser af egeblade 1905 - 1907

"Skitser af egeblade" (Sketches of Oak Leaves) is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, created between 1905 and 1907. This delicate study of nature, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Stevns's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of organic forms through swift, expressive lines. Stevns was known for his naturalistic works, often depicting landscapes and botanical subjects, and this sketch reflects his affinity for close observation and the beauty of the natural world. This intimate drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his exploration of the subtle nuances of nature.
