Illustration til "Springfyren" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2 1870 - 1873

This pen and ink drawing by H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, depicts a grasshopper in a field of grass. The detailed and delicate lines of the drawing create a sense of realism and bring the insect to life. This work was originally an illustration for "Springfyren" in H.C. Andersen's "Eventyr og Historier," Bind 2, and is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The image exemplifies Hansen's skill in naturalistic illustration and his ability to capture the intricacies of nature.
