Illustration til digtet "Sorg" 1847 - 1875

F. Hendriksen's "Illustration til digtet "Sorg"" (1847-1875) is a delicate and poignant black and white illustration depicting a woman, possibly a mother, leaning over a child lying in bed. The woman's hand rests gently on the child's face, and her expression suggests a mix of sadness and love. This illustration, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is likely an illustration for a poem about grief, further emphasizing the emotional impact of the scene. The artist's detailed hatching technique adds depth and texture to the figures, enhancing the sense of tenderness and sorrow.
