Duerne. Illustration til H.V. Kaalund, "Fabler for Børn" 1866

"Duerne" (1866) is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist H.P. Hansen (1829-1899). This illustration was created for H.V. Kaalund's book "Fabler for Børn" (Fables for Children). The drawing depicts two pigeons perched on a wooden beam in front of a rustic building. The scene evokes a simple, everyday moment from rural life, conveying a sense of tranquility and observation. The detailed rendering of the birds' feathers and the textured background reflects Hansen's meticulous style. This work is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
