Illustration til "Gaaseurten" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 1 1870 - 1873

This pen and ink drawing by Danish artist H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, is an illustration for Hans Christian Andersen's "Eventyr og Historier," specifically for the story "Gaaseurten." The delicate lines depict a simple scene of a bird flying through a lush garden, suggesting the natural world that is often featured in Andersen's tales. The drawing's small size, measuring only 70mm by 105mm, highlights the intricate details of the illustration. This work, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an example of Hansen's contribution to the visual interpretation of Andersen's beloved stories.
