Illustration til "Gjordemoderen og Trolden" 1843

This illustration by Danish artist H.C. Henneberg, created in 1843, depicts a scene from the Danish fairy tale "Gjordemoderen og Trolden." The black and white print, measuring just 52mm by 56mm, features a woman and a troll riding a horse. The woman, dressed in a long skirt and a shawl, holds a bottle, suggesting a potion or a charm. The troll is smaller than the woman and wears a pointed hat. The simple lines and details of the illustration capture the essence of the story, making it a valuable and evocative piece of Danish folklore art. The illustration is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
