Gid jeg var stor 1862

"Gid jeg var stor" (How I wished I was Big) is a lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff, created in 1862. The artwork portrays a scene of a small child standing before a seated man in a garden setting. The child is holding a stick and appears to be looking up at the man with admiration. This simple yet poignant illustration exemplifies the common theme of childhood longing and the desire to grow up, a theme that has resonated with audiences for generations. The work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Kittendorff's ability to capture the innocence and aspirations of childhood in his art.
