Nøddeknækkeren 1845

"Nøddeknækkeren" is an anonymous black and white illustration created in 1845. It depicts two children seated at a table in a room, likely engaged in a game or activity. The illustration also features a clock, a bag hanging on the wall, and a puppet visible in the background. The detail at the bottom of the piece depicts three figures harvesting crops, suggesting a connection to a story about the Nutcracker, a popular Christmas tradition. This drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century Danish life and folklore.
