Illustration til "Askeladden som fik prinsessen til at løgste sig" 1870 - 1878

This black and white pen and ink illustration, created between 1870 and 1878 by an anonymous artist, depicts a scene from the Danish fairy tale "Askeladden som fik prinsessen til at løgste sig". The drawing showcases a dynamic scene where a woman dramatically reacts to something the seated man is holding, emphasizing the comical and fantastical elements typical of traditional fairy tales. This piece, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a charming example of Danish illustrative art from the 19th century.
