Titelvignet til Kaalunds "Fabler for Børn". Se kommentar fra arkkatalog. 1843

This 1843 drawing by Johan Thomas Lundbye is a vignette, a decorative design, specifically intended for the title page of "Fabler for Børn" ("Fables for Children"). It features a ram's skull positioned between two drooping sprigs of ivy, rendered in the artist's signature meticulous detail. This design likely reflects Lundbye's interest in both the natural world and the art of illustration, demonstrating his artistic skill in capturing the intricate details of both fauna and flora. Lundbye, known for his naturalistic style and often-depicted Danish landscapes, died young in 1848 at the age of 30. His work remains a testament to the beauty of nature and the power of observation.
