About the piece
Painted in 1862 by Andreas Herman Hunæus, this work captures a lively social gathering on the ramparts of Copenhagen. The composition is rich with detail, depicting various social classes in period attire—from men in tall top hats to women in voluminous skirts and children at play—all set against a backdrop of bare spring trees and city architecture.
