About the piece
Painted in 1835 by Constantin Hansen, a leading figure of the Danish Golden Age, this portrait depicts Hanne Wanscher with a masterful attention to detail. The composition balances the dark tones of her dress with the bright, patterned shawl and the delicate texture of her curled hair, all set against a tranquil, atmospheric green backdrop.
