About the piece
Painted in 1833 by Christen Købke, this portrait of Mrs. Th. Petersen exemplifies the refined realism of the Danish Golden Age. The subject is rendered with remarkable clarity and psychological presence, her figure set against a neutral, atmospheric background that highlights the intricate details of her Apollo loop hairstyle and the luster of her gold jewelry.
