Created by Rex Whistler in 1905, this illustration beautifully captures a poignant moment from Hans Christian Andersen's story. The image depicts a melancholic scene where the wreath of flowers on Columbine's grave has already faded. As the moon shines down, illuminating the surroundings with its ethereal glow, a lone figure sits beside the grave. It is as if time stands still in this magical realm, where even nature mourns for lost loved ones. Whistler's intricate attention to detail brings out the emotions embedded within Andersen's tale. Through his masterful strokes, he invites us to reflect upon themes of loss, remembrance, and the transient nature of life itself.
