Illustration til "Svend Tveskægs tog til England og slaget ved Svold" 1853

This 1853 illustration, an anonymous work housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene from the Danish epic poem *Svend Tveskægs tog til England og slaget ved Svold*. The black and white drawing features two figures in a richly decorated interior. The male figure, likely Svend Tveskæg, stands dramatically with a sword and shield, while a female figure, perhaps a queen, sits regally on a throne. The work's simple style and focus on narrative detail is characteristic of illustrations created for literary works in the 19th century.
