About the piece

Created in 1834 by Christian Albrecht Jensen, a master of the Danish Golden Age, this portrait captures a young child with a sensitive, inquisitive gaze. The striking red of the dress, accented with dark spots, provides a warm focus against the atmospheric, dark shadows of the background.
