Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This pen-and-ink illustration, "Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey," by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848) depicts a scene from a children's fable. The illustration shows a mother pig and her litter of piglets in front of a simple, thatched-roof farmhouse. Rørbye's detailed, delicate lines capture the warmth and tenderness of the scene, making it a charming example of 19th-century Danish illustrative art. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
