Konen og hesten. Illustration til Kaalunds "Fabler for Børn". Se kommentar fra arkkatalog. 1843

This pen and ink drawing, "Konen og hesten", by Johan Thomas Lundbye, is an illustration for a children's fable by Kaalund. The work depicts a woman carrying a bundle of sticks and a horse in the foreground of a woodland scene. The light, precise lines of Lundbye's drawing capture the peaceful scene of a woman going about her daily life in nature. The drawing, created in 1843, is a testament to the Danish Golden Age of art, a period known for its emphasis on realism and depictions of everyday life. This illustration, now part of the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst, provides insight into the visual culture of Denmark in the mid-19th century.
