Studier af ørn 1864 - 1941

"Studier af ørn" is a pencil drawing created by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns between 1864 and 1941. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts two sketches of an eagle, likely studies for a larger work. This drawing exemplifies Stevns' keen observation of nature and his mastery of the pencil, capturing the bird's powerful form with precise lines and subtle shading. The simplicity of the sketches allows viewers to focus on the essence of the eagle's anatomy, highlighting the artist's interest in scientific accuracy and his desire to understand the animal's structure and movement.
