Prøvetryk til illustration til P. M. Møller: "En dansk students eventyr" 1884 - 1897

This illustration, created by Danish artist Henrik Arnold Hamilkar Sørensen in 1884-1897, is a proof print for a book illustration. The piece depicts a man in a chair, likely a student, with a weary expression and a slumped posture, possibly depicting the exhaustion of academic life. Created in a realistic style, the drawing captures the detailed surroundings of a room with a focus on the figure’s expression and gesture, adding depth to the narrative and enhancing the viewer's understanding of the student's mental state. This small, intimate artwork, measuring only 75 mm by 82 mm, showcases Sørensen's ability to capture a moment of human experience through precise and sensitive detail.
