Illustration til humoreske af Makedonios "Just som jeg gik og tænkte paa, hvor rart det ville være, om min kone ville lægge sig til at dø..." 1860

Lorenz Frølich's 1860 illustration, "Illustration til humoreske af Makedonios 'Just som jeg gik og tænkte paa, hvor rart det ville være, om min kone ville lægge sig til at dø...'", depicts a humorous scene with a man in a toga rushing towards a woman also dressed in a toga. The drawing is done in delicate pencil lines and is framed by decorative flourishes. The caption below the image is in French and suggests that the man, despite wishing his wife's death, finds her presence rather pleasant. Frølich, a Danish artist known for his illustrations and caricatures, captured the essence of this comical literary piece with his masterful use of line and form. This drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
