Illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, Skarnbassen 1867

Lorenz Frølich's 1867 "Illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, Skarnbassen" is a pencil sketch depicting a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Dung Beetle." The artwork features a simple composition with a rock and foliage, likely the dung beetle's home. Frølich's delicate lines capture the essence of Andersen's tale, illustrating the insect's world with a sense of whimsical charm. The sketch is a testament to Frølich's skill in capturing the imagination of childhood, making it a valuable piece for studying the relationship between art and literature.
