This black and white illustration by H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, depicts a gnarled tree trunk with a whimsical face. The drawing, titled "Illustration til "Boghveden" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 1", serves as an illustration for the Danish fairytale "The Buckwheat" by Hans Christian Andersen. The detailed lines and intricate details create a sense of fantasy and are a testament to Hansen's talent for bringing Andersen's stories to life.
