About the piece

Painted in 1725 by Peter Petersen Batta, this portrait captures Maren Lemvig with a quiet, formal dignity. The work is characterized by the high contrast between her delicate lace headpiece and the deep, dark background, showcasing the meticulous detail and somber elegance common in early 18th-century Northern European portraiture.
