This black and white illustration depicts a winged cherub, commonly associated with the Roman god Cupid, holding a bow and arrow. It is an illustration for "Den uartige Dreng" in H.C. Andersen's collection "Eventyr og Historier". H.P. Hansen, known for his detailed illustrations, created this work for the first volume of the collection, which was published between 1870 and 1873. The image, which is held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, demonstrates Hansen's skilled use of line and detail, creating a charming portrayal of the cherub's mischievous energy.
