About the piece
Painted in 1815 by Christian Albrecht Jensen, this oil portrait depicts Mrs. Gumperd with a refined sensitivity characteristic of the Danish Golden Age. The work is a masterclass in texture, contrasting the delicate, intricate loops of the lace collar against the soft, luminous skin tones and the dark, structured curls of the sitter's hair.
