Ellen Poulsen refers to J. M. Thiele's yearbooks (1907), where this painting is discussed 'The mother "Mrs Sophie" as she was called still possessed remnants of former beauty. The artist Jens Juel has preserved this beauty in a painting of her and Peter, which is still kept in the family', and also refers to King Christian VIII's diaries (1801) 'visited Juel, where Mad. Tutein was painted'. Ellen Poulsen also writes about the painting 'Mrs Tutein in deep lilac dress is very beautifully painted… a beautiful head and wonderful eyebrows and eyes. The beautiful Mrs Tutein has inspired Juel to paint a very dignified portrait'.
