Illustration til Christian Winther, "Chresten og Lene" 1889 - 1926

This delicate pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Waldemar Bøhme, titled "Illustration til Christian Winther, "Chresten og Lene"", depicts a peaceful rural scene. Created between 1889 and 1926, the artwork features a soaring stork against a pale sky, a thatched-roof farmhouse nestled amidst trees, and a cow grazing in a field. The detailed rendering of the landscape and the subtle shading create a sense of depth and tranquility. The illustration, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, likely served as a visual accompaniment to the Danish writer Christian Winther's work, highlighting the idyllic nature of the country life.
