About the piece

Painted in 1827 by Danish master Christian Albrecht Jensen, this oil on canvas portrait depicts the three children of Hans and Bolette Puggaard. The composition is anchored by the vibrant green dress and the playful inclusion of a toy drum, set against a dramatic dark backdrop that emphasizes the luminous rendering of the children's faces.
