Illustration til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" af Hey 1834

This detailed pen and ink illustration by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created in 1834, is a whimsical depiction of two dogs in a rural setting. The larger dog, standing in the foreground, appears to be observing something off in the distance, while the smaller dog, perched on a chair, seems to be looking on with curiosity. The artist’s masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, conveying the softness of the fur and the roughness of the wooden chair. This charming scene, likely intended for children, is a testament to Rørbye's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life.
