Illustration til "Bedstemoder" i H.C. Andersen, "Eventyr og Historier", Bind 2 1870 - 1873

This pen and ink drawing, titled "Illustration til 'Bedstemoder' i H.C. Andersen, 'Eventyr og Historier', Bind 2", was created by Danish artist H.P. Hansen between 1870 and 1873. The illustration depicts an elderly woman, likely a grandmother, seated in a chair with three children seated before her. The scene evokes a sense of domesticity and storytelling, hinting at the content of the accompanying text, likely from Hans Christian Andersen’s "Fairy Tales and Stories". The detailed depiction of clothing and furnishings adds to the realism of the image. This artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and is a good example of illustrative art from the 19th century.
