Vogterdrengen. Illustration til H.V. Kaalund, "Fabler for Børn" 1866

"Vogterdrengen" (The Shepherd Boy), an 1866 illustration by H.P. Hansen (1829-1899), depicts a shepherd boy tending his flock under a canopy of trees. The delicate pen and ink lines create a sense of quietude, capturing a moment of contemplation in the rural countryside. This artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, originally served as an illustration for H.V. Kaalund's "Fabler for Børn" (Fables for Children).
