Illustration til "Grantræet" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 1 1870 - 1873

This pen and ink illustration by Danish artist H.P. Hansen, created between 1870 and 1873, depicts a young boy standing in front of a fir tree. The image is a black and white line drawing on paper, and is a small, intimate depiction of a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Fir Tree." The delicate lines and simple composition contribute to the artwork's evocative quality. The illustration is currently housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
