Tegner, Hans Kristian (1853–1932), Danish artist and illustrator, professor, member of the Danish Academy of Arts, mainly known for his illustrations of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. His first watercolours of Andersen's ‘The Tinderbox’ were shown at an art exhibition in 1882. A selection of Andersen's fairy tales with Tegner's exquisite illustrations was produced in a so‐called international publication (in various languages) up to 1901. Maria Nikolajeva
