Illustration til "Tamt og Vildt", digt af Christian Richardt 1870 - 1874

This anonymous illustration from 1870-1874 depicts two figures walking along a beach, likely in a Danish seaside town. The smaller figure, a young boy, is carrying a rifle over his shoulder, perhaps representing the theme of “Tamt og Vildt" (Tamed and Wild) of the poem by Christian Richardt for which this illustration was created. The figure in front, a man wearing a hat and holding an umbrella, is reminiscent of a gentlemanly figure. The simplicity of the pen-and-ink drawing creates a sense of realism, highlighting the contrast between the two figures and their contrasting personalities.
