About the piece

Created by Danish artist Holger Roed in 1872, this watercolor study captures the iconic Judgment of Paris with soft, airy brushwork. The composition features central figures against a rugged landscape, rendered with a light-handed elegance characteristic of late 19th-century academic studies.
