Titelbillede til H. Drachmann, "Peder Todenskjold" 1870 - 1883

This is a black and white engraving depicting two sailing ships on the open water, likely a scene from the Danish novel "Peder Todenskjold" by Henrik Drachmann. The ships are detailed with rigging and sails and the scene features a stormy sky and choppy waves, adding a sense of drama. The artwork, created by an anonymous artist between 1870 and 1883, serves as an illustration for the novel, a popular Danish work that captures the romanticism of the sea. "Titelbillede til H. Drachmann, "Peder Todenskjold"" is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
