Illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, Snemanden 1866 - 1867

This pencil sketch, titled "Illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, Snemanden," is a preliminary drawing by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, created between 1866 and 1867. The artwork depicts a scene from H.C. Andersen's famous story "The Snowman," showcasing a group of children building a snowman. Frølich's simple yet expressive lines capture the youthful energy and wonder of the scene, making it a charming example of his illustrative style. This sketch, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the creative process behind Frølich's celebrated illustrations for Andersen's beloved fairy tales.
