"Da tog han hende ved hånden og førte hende ind i slottet" 1904

"Da tog han hende ved hånden og førte hende ind i slottet" (He Took Her by the Hand and Led Her into the Castle), a 1904 work by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, depicts a man leading a nude woman into a castle. This drawing, housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Denmark, captures a moment of intimacy and transition, the woman's vulnerability juxtaposed with the architectural grandeur of the castle. The artist's use of detailed line work and subtle shading creates a sense of drama and mystery, leaving the viewer to interpret the narrative implied within the scene.
