Ossian og Alpins søn hører Malvinas ånd gribe i harpens strenge 1815

"Ossian og Alpins søn hører Malvinas ånd gribe i harpens strenge" (Ossian and the Son of Alpin Hear Malvina's Spirit Touch the Harp Strings) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Danish artist C.G. Kratzenstein Stub. Created in 1815, shortly before the artist's death, the piece depicts a scene from the Ossian cycle, a collection of epic poems attributed to the ancient Celtic bard Ossian. The drawing features Ossian, the son of Alpin, listening to the music of Malvina's spirit as she plays the harp, emphasizing the themes of love, loss, and the power of music. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the romantic and mystical artistic trends of the early 19th century.
