Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created in 1834, depicts a dog looking up at a cat perched in a tree. The detailed illustration was created for a book titled "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn," a collection of fifty fables for children, and showcases Rørbye's talent for capturing the natural world with a touch of whimsy. The work's small dimensions and intimate subject matter hint at the charming appeal of this illustration, making it a delightful example of the artist's work.
