Illustration til Christian Winther, "Chresten og Lene" 1889 - 1926

This illustration by Danish artist Waldemar Bøhme, created between 1889 and 1926, depicts a romantic scene of a young couple, Chresten and Lene, standing in a wooded area. Executed in a delicate pencil drawing style, the image captures the intimacy of the pair, with the young man’s hand resting gently on the woman’s shoulder. Bøhme's work often focused on scenes of rural life, and this illustration is a testament to his ability to depict the beauty and simplicity of everyday moments. Currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this artwork is a valuable example of Bøhme's contributions to Danish illustration.
