About the piece

Painted in 1828 by Frederik Sødring, this work captures the intimate, everyday atmosphere of the rear courtyard at Charlottenborg Palace. The interplay of light on the warm brickwork and the inclusion of laundry and a quiet cat create a serene, grounding scene characteristic of Danish Golden Age painting.
