Overview

Peder Als painted this oil portrait in 1761, depicting Anna Cathrine Hauch, née von der Maase. The work is part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst. The composition centers on a young woman in an elaborate, light‑toned gown, set against a darkened backdrop that emphasizes her presence.

Subject & Meaning

The sitter is presented with a composed expression, gazing directly at the viewer. Her hair is arranged in an intricate style, accented by a single flower, while a prominent bow rests on her chest. The attire and pose convey her social standing and the conventions of feminine elegance in mid‑18th‑century Denmark.

Technique & Style

Als employed a refined oil technique, rendering the delicate lace, bows, and puffed sleeves with meticulous brushwork. The contrast between the luminous fabric and the somber background creates a three‑dimensional effect, highlighting the texture of the dress and the subtle modeling of the face.
