Illustration til "Kulbrænderen" 1829 - 1899

"Illustration til "Kulbrænderen"" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist H.P. Hansen, created between 1829 and 1899. The drawing, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts a humorous scene of two men, likely characters from the literary work "Kulbrænderen", toasting each other with glasses of wine. The smaller figure is dressed in a long coat, while the larger one, adorned with a crown, appears to be a king. Hansen's signature is visible at the bottom of the drawing. The piece is an example of black and white illustration, a popular form of art in the 19th century, and exemplifies Hansen's keen eye for detail and ability to capture human expression.
