1880
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Studies by Alfred Stevens is a 1880 by Alfred Stevens, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This page is covered in quick, sketchy pencil lines. You see two main figures—one standing, one kneeling—drawn in loose, flowing strokes. Around them are scattered studies of hands, faces, and architectural bits like columns and scrolls. The paper looks old, with faint creases and some smudges. The artist seems to be testing different poses and details, almost like a practice sheet. The lines are light but confident, showing movement without heavy shading. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work in person.
Alfred Émile Léopold Stevens (11 May 1823 – 24 August 1906) was a Belgian painter, known for his paintings of elegant modern women.
