Illustration til Dyrenes Sørejse samt blyantsrids 1925

Niels Skovgaard's 1925 pen and ink drawing, "Illustration til Dyrenes Sørejse samt blyantsrids," depicts a scene of a small boat being tossed about in rough seas. The boat is capsized, with its mast tilted precariously, and a rooster perched at the top. This whimsical illustration, part of a series for a children's book, is a prime example of Skovgaard's distinctive illustrative style, often characterized by his use of delicate lines and playful details. The smaller sketches on the page contribute to the dynamism of the work.
