Illustration til "Hørren" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2 1870 - 1873

This black and white illustration, created by Danish artist H.P. Hansen between 1870 and 1873, depicts a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's "Eventyr og Historier". The pen and ink drawing, titled "Illustration til "Hørren" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2", showcases Hansen's skill in capturing the essence of the story through a simple yet evocative scene. Two figures stand in a rural setting, their expressions hinting at a poignant moment from the tale. Currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this small-scale artwork (118 mm x 131 mm) stands as a testament to Hansen's contributions to the world of illustrated literature.
