"Pudelhunden" (1866) is a wood engraving by Danish artist H.P. Hansen. The artwork, part of a larger series created for H.V. Kaalund's book of children's fables, "Fabler for Børn," depicts a poodle on a wooden platform, looking up at the setting sun. Hansen's detailed illustration captures the dog's expression of wonder and curiosity, reflecting the poem's themes of curiosity and the simple pleasures of life.
