Illustration til "Guldfuglen" 1870 - 1882

This illustration, created sometime between 1870 and 1882, is a black and white depiction of a man running through a dark forest. A bird flies overhead, bathed in the glow of a distant light source. The artwork, an illustration for the story "Guldfuglen", is characteristic of 19th century illustration styles. The anonymous artist employed a detailed hatching technique to portray the mood of the forest and the sense of urgency felt by the man. The piece is currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
