About the piece
Painted in 1821 by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, the 'Father of Danish Painting,' this formal portrait depicts King Frederik VI alongside Queen Marie and Princesses Caroline and Vilhelmine. The work showcases masterful neoclassical realism, from the intricate patterns of the shawls to the soft play of light on the Empire-style gowns and the King's vibrant military uniform, creating a dignified and historical presence.
