"En lille historie" (A Little Story) is an anonymous Danish pencil drawing from 1870-1880, currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This delicate drawing depicts a young girl and boy standing on either side of a shallow stream with stepping stones, suggesting a playful, innocent encounter. The simple lines and the understated composition evoke a sense of rural charm and childhood nostalgia, reflecting the artist's keen eye for detail and ability to capture a fleeting moment in time.
