Illustration til eventyret "En Tiurleg i Holleia" 1870 - 1878

This illustration, created between 1870 and 1878, depicts a woman standing by a river and reaching for something in the water. Created by an anonymous artist, the drawing is an illustration for the Norwegian fairy tale, "En Tiurleg i Holleia", which depicts a woman's journey to escape an oppressive marriage. This image may represent a crucial scene in the story, capturing the moment the woman discovers her independence or finds a way to escape. The fine lines and detailed rendering of the woman's form and the surrounding landscape, with its river and foliage, create a sense of realism and provide a glimpse into the world of the tale. This artwork is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
