About the piece
Painted in 1832, this work by Christen Købke captures the characterful visage of Inger Margrethe Høyen with remarkable sensitivity. The artist's mastery of the Danish Golden Age style is evident in the delicate rendering of her ruffled bonnet and the subtle textures of her striped shawl, set against a deep, grounding background.
