Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

"Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye from 1834, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection. The illustration depicts a child surrounded by nature, reaching out to a butterfly in a garden setting. This delicate and charming piece, typical of Rørbye’s style, showcases his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the innocence and wonder of childhood in a simple yet evocative image. The artwork, small in size, is a testament to Rørbye's ability to create engaging scenes within limited dimensions. It's a quintessential example of Danish Romanticism and serves as a delightful visual representation of a popular children's story.
