Illustration til "Alt paa sin rette Plads" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2 1870 - 1873

This illustration by Danish artist H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, depicts a chaotic scene from the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, "Everything in Its Right Place." The black and white etching, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the moment when a group of men, seemingly intoxicated, are gathered around a table, with dogs running around them. The illustration's detailed lines create a sense of movement and energy, perfectly conveying the chaotic nature of the story. This artwork is a prime example of 19th-century Danish illustration, offering a visual interpretation of a beloved children's story.
