Illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, Peiter, Peter og Peer 1866 - 1870

This pencil sketch, created by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich between 1866 and 1870, is an illustration draft for Hans Christian Andersen's story "Peiter, Peter og Peer" (Peter, Peter and Peer). It portrays three figures in a simple interior setting, likely representing the story's characters, with a fourth figure partially sketched on the left. Frølich was a prolific illustrator, known for his contributions to Andersen's works, and this sketch exemplifies his draftsmanship and attention to detail. The sketch's loose lines suggest a preparatory stage for a larger illustration, capturing a moment from the beloved fairytale.
