Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This delicate pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, dated 1834, depicts three pigeons perched on a rooftop. The scene, likely intended as an illustration for a children's book, showcases Rørbye's mastery of fine detail and observation of nature. The artist's precise lines and subtle shading bring the birds to life, while the simple background emphasizes their peaceful presence. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing Rørbye's significant contribution to Danish Romanticism and its focus on everyday life.
