The popular painting has been used for several book covers. Both Patricia G. Berman's Danish  New Light on 19th Century Danish Painting  and English  In Another Light: Danish Painting in the Nineteenth Century  use the image.
The painting is also reproduced on the front page of  The Naked Golden Age , the catalogue published in connection with the Hirschsprung Collection's exhibition in 1994, where pictures from Eckersberg and his students were shown.The artwork has been called "a painting with understated eroticism", and its erotic hints meant that it was initially banned on Facebook when a tourism organisation in 2015 wanted to use an image of the painting in an advertisement on social media. Facebook stated as a reason for the censorship: "We do not allow images or videos that suggest nudity through, for example, blurring or cropping. Such ads are sensitive and typically provoke negative reactions from viewers."
However, Facebook later admitted that the censorship was a mistake and allowed the image to be used in an ad on the site.The Hirschsprung Collection sells a reproduction of the painting, which is larger than the original.
