Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848) is an illustration for a children's book of fables, "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn". Created in 1834, the artwork depicts a young boy in a rural setting, reaching out to catch a bird in flight. Rørbye's characteristic detailed style and expressive figures bring a sense of lively charm to this scene. This drawing serves as a beautiful example of his mastery of linework and his contribution to Danish children's literature.
