Illustration til St. St. Blicher, De tre Helligaftener 1846

This pen and ink drawing by Christen Dalsgaard from 1846, titled "Illustration til St. St. Blicher, De tre Helligaftener" depicts a scene from the Danish writer Steen Steensen Blicher's novel, "The Three Holy Evenings." The drawing, part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, shows a group of figures in a rural setting, including a man bending over, possibly in distress, as three other figures observe. The drawing showcases Dalsgaard’s ability to capture detail and depict a narrative moment, characteristic of his illustrative work.
