Illustration til Johan Krohn, "Peters jul" 1870

This 1870 illustration by Carl Leonard Sandberg depicts a scene of a grandmother and a young child, most likely from the book *Peters jul*, which the illustration accompanied. The intimate scene is rendered in delicate detail, characteristic of Sandberg's work, and the inclusion of botanical elements, like the pine and holly, adds to the festive atmosphere. This piece is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. It is a charming example of Sandberg's contribution to Danish book illustration, showcasing his skill in capturing tender moments.
