Christian II færges over Lillebælt 1914 - 1918

"Christian II færges over Lillebælt" (Christian II ferries across the Little Belt) is a black and white ink drawing created by Danish artist Peter Hansen between 1914 and 1918. The artwork depicts Christian II, King of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, being transported by boat across the Little Belt strait. The scene is depicted from the perspective of someone inside the boat, looking out at the turbulent waters. Hansen’s loose, expressive lines create a sense of motion and drama, capturing the energy of the scene. The drawing is a powerful example of Hansen's skill in capturing historical figures and events with a keen sense of realism and dynamism.
