Portrait of Susanne Cecilie Købke, née Købke, the Artist´s Wife

The painting features prominent impasto brushstrokes, particularly on the subject’s deep red dress, where thick layers of paint create a textured, almost tactile representation of the fabric.

Created in 1836 by 1117_person, the portrait is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography, though specific details of its acquisition or earlier ownership are not provided.

While the broader artistic context of the piece is not detailed here, the use of impasto suggests an emphasis on expressive brushwork, a technique that would become more prevalent in later 19th-century art movements.

The legacy of this specific portrait is not elaborated upon, focusing instead on its current status as part of the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings.
