Omslag til eventyret "Bjergmanden og Tordenvejret" 1824 - 1907

This is a pen and ink illustration by Danish artist Christen Dalsgaard, a cover illustration for the fairytale "Bjergmanden og Tordenvejret" (The Mountain Man and the Thunderstorm). Created between 1824 and 1907, the artwork features a small figure perched atop the letter 'B' in the title, which is rendered in a decorative, stylized manner. The simplicity and elegance of the design, combined with the evocative imagery, make this a charming example of Dalsgaard's work. The drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, serves as a testament to the artistry and imagination of this Danish illustrator.
