Udkast til illustration til "Ude og hjemme" 1877

This drawing by Danish artist Frans Schwartz, titled "Udkast til illustration til 'Ude og hjemme'" (Draft for Illustration for 'Out and Home') from 1877, is a preliminary sketch for an illustration. The composition features a central figure of a child seated in a landscape setting. Above this figure are two circular frames depicting scenes: one showing the Nativity of Jesus, the other a group of children. This sketch, likely intended for a publication, exemplifies Schwartz's illustrative style, blending detailed figures with a delicate, naturalistic approach. The work is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
