Illustration til O. Specter, "Fabler for Børn" 1838

"Illustration til O. Specter, "Fabler for Børn"" is a black and white wood engraving by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, created in 1838. This illustration depicts a simple domestic scene, likely from a fable for children. The composition features a woman carrying a bucket of water, seen through an archway, with a table, a stool, and other household items in the foreground. Kyhn's detailed and realistic style was typical of the Romantic period. The small format of the artwork suggests it was intended for publication in a book, reflecting the growing popularity of illustrated literature in the 19th century. The engraving is now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
