To illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, "Noget" 1866

"To illustrationsudkast til H.C. Andersen, "Noget"" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, created in 1866. This is one of two sketches for an illustration for a story by H.C. Andersen, and is held in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The sketch depicts two scenes: on the left, a seated woman, and a standing woman facing her and talking, while on the right there is a woman lying on a bed and another woman sitting up on a chair next to her. The drawing style is simple, suggesting a quick study rather than a finished work. The sketch offers a glimpse into Frølich's creative process and his interpretation of Andersen's story. The drawing is a valuable addition to the study of both Andersen's work and Frølich's artistic career.
