"The Old Witch Combing Gerda's Hair with a Golden Comb to Cause Her to Forget Her Friend" is an illustration by Lorenz Frølich, created as part of a series of artworks for the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. This particular illustration captures a poignant moment in the tale's narrative, where the old witch uses a magical golden comb to comb the hair of the young girl, Gerda, in an attempt to make her forget her quest to find her friend Kay, who has been taken by the Snow Queen.

Frølich's illustration is a visual representation of the themes of memory and oblivion that run through Andersen's story. The image is rich in symbolism, with the golden comb representing both the allure and danger of forgetting one's past and loved ones. The witch's intent to distract Gerda from her purpose reflects the obstacles and temptations that individuals face on their journeys.
