Studie af firpas for enden af korsarm på Egebjerg-krucifixet. Firpasset viser løven, Markus' evangelistsymbol 1919

This detailed ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns (1864-1941) depicts a lion, the traditional symbol for the evangelist Mark. The sketch was created in 1919 as a study for the Egebjerg Crucifix, a notable piece of religious art. The artist's keen observation of the original sculpture is evident in the meticulous lines and shading of the drawing, offering a glimpse into his creative process. The drawing, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Stevns's mastery of line work and his interest in religious iconography.
