About the piece

Painted in 1809 by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, this portrait depicts the actress Johanne Cathrine Rosing. The work showcases the artist's developing mastery of light and texture, seen in the delicate lace collar and the soft folds of the white gown, characteristic of the refined Danish Golden Age style.
