Vignet til Sophus Schandorph, "En Romersk Nat" 1870s

"Vignet til Sophus Schandorph, "En Romersk Nat"" is a pen and ink drawing created by an anonymous artist in the 1870s. The artwork, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a stylized, almost dreamlike scene with a Roman setting featuring classical ruins, trees, a flying cherub, and a cornucopia overflowing with fruit, a lute, and other objects. The composition suggests a connection to the literary work "En Romersk Nat" by Sophus Schandorph, hinting at a possible illustration for the book. The drawing's delicate lines and careful details are characteristic of the Romantic style of the period.
