About the piece
Painted in 1846 by the Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, this oil on canvas depicts Frederikke Raffenberg with dignified grace. The subject is framed by a dark, contemplative interior while a window behind her reveals a bright vista of Rome, identifiable by the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Marstrand’s masterful handling of the intricate bonnet and the soft lighting on her face creates a piece of timeless sophistication.
