Illustration til "Nabofamilierne" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2 1870 - 1873

This illustration by Danish artist H.P. Hansen (1829-1899) was created for an 1870-1873 edition of Hans Christian Andersen’s “Eventyr og Historier”, depicting a scene from “Nabofamilierne”. The simple, pen and ink style drawing shows a couple standing before a tree, which is likely symbolic of a significant event from the story. This artwork is part of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst collection and is a testament to the enduring influence of Andersen’s work.
