Illustration til "Østenfor Sol og Vestenfor Maane" 1829 - 1899

This illustration, created by Danish artist H.P. Hansen between 1829 and 1899, depicts a young woman sitting alone in a forest, head in hands, her expression one of profound sadness. This detailed black and white engraving is likely an illustration for the Danish folk tale "Østenfor Sol og Vestenfor Maane" (East of the Sun and West of the Moon), as its title suggests. The artist masterfully conveys the emotions of the scene through subtle use of shading and light, creating a sense of melancholy and isolation. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
