Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This delicate pen and ink drawing by Martinus Rørbye, created in 1834, is an illustration for the book "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" ("Fifty Fables for Children"). It depicts a young woman looking out of a window with a bird perched on the sill. The scene is rendered with fine detail, showcasing Rørbye's mastery of the medium. The intricate lines capture the textures of the window panes, the snow-covered sill, and the branches of a tree outside. This intimate illustration, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Rørbye's artistic style and his ability to evoke a sense of quiet observation and contemplation.
