The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep is a fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson about a romance between two china figurines, first published in 1845. Nielsen, a Dane, had provided illustrations for several children's collections including East of the Sun and West of the Moon before contributing twelve colour plates and over forty monochrome illustrations for an edition of Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales in 1924. He later worked as an illustrator for the Walt Disney Company, Hollywood.
