Focus on this artwork and explore the Provenance.
Eckersberg sold the painting in 1843, when Bertel Thorvaldsen visited Eckersberg's studio at Charlottenborg with Baroness Christine Stampe on 9 February. She bought it for 20 daler. "Mrs. Stampe got the little half-naked figure of Florentine" wrote Eckersberg in his diary and the day after "Mrs. Stampe sent 20 daler for the small Figure with bare back at her Toilet." Later it came into the ownership of merchant Heinrich Hirschsprung, and was registered in the Emil Hannover catalogue of Eckersberg's works from 1898.
This was after Hirschsprung had acquired it in 1895 from Mrs Nanna Holtum.
