About the piece
Painted in 1832 by Christen Købke, this portrait features fellow painter Frederic Sødring in his studio environment. As a quintessential work of the Danish Golden Age, it highlights Købke's mastery of light and texture, seen in the soft glow on the sitter's face and the precisely rendered details of the palette, sketches, and climbing ivy.
