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

This black and white illustration, created by H.P. Hansen between 1870 and 1873, is a depiction of a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairytale "The Emperor's New Clothes". The illustration features two men, one of whom is holding a hat in the air while the other laughs and appears to be gesturing towards the hat. The scene is likely a depiction of the moment when the weavers, having convinced the Emperor that they have made him new clothes, proceed to tell the Emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, while in reality, the Emperor is wearing nothing at all. The artwork is part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.
