About the piece

Painted in 1856 by Wilhelm Marstrand, this Danish Golden Age portrait captures an affectionate moment between Miss Annette Hage and her young nephew. The composition is rich with detail, from the delicate lace of their collars to the carefully rendered shells and flowers on the table, all set against a deep, dramatic red backdrop.
