Prøvetryk til Chr. Winthers A.B.C. 1863

This is a pen and ink illustration by H.P. Hansen, created in 1863 as a trial print for Chr. Winthers' A.B.C. The artwork depicts a simple scene of three men in a rustic setting, one pouring a drink for the others. The detailed, yet simplified, strokes of the pen create a sense of realism and warmth, capturing the casual nature of the moment. The piece is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This trial print provides a glimpse into the process of creating a book illustration, highlighting the artist's initial design and style.
