Illustration til "Svinedrengen" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 1 1870 - 1873

This pen and ink illustration by H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, depicts a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Swineherd." The artwork shows a young woman seated and distressed, looking away from a regal figure in the background. The image, part of a collection of Andersen's tales, showcases Hansen's detailed style and the artist's ability to capture the emotional nuances of the story. The piece currently resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, a renowned institution for Danish art, and stands as a testament to the legacy of both Andersen and Hansen.
