"Ilustration til Fabricius' Danmarks historie" (1853) by H. C. Henneberg is a black and white wood engraving depicting a scene of a man, possibly a warrior, lying dead by a campfire in a forest. He is surrounded by other men, perhaps his comrades, who appear to be grieving or discussing his death. The detailed, realistic style of the work is characteristic of the 19th-century Danish artist H. C. Henneberg, who was known for his illustrations and historical paintings. This engraving likely served as an illustration for a history book of Denmark, providing a visual representation of a significant event or character from the country's past. The image evokes a sense of solemnity and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
