Description
Automatic translation from Danish.
Danish Golden Age painter, 19th century. Portrait of Rige Wimmer, 4 years old, wearing a light blue empire dress with a gold necklace around her neck and a basket of flowers, oil on canvas, unsigned, on the back marked: 'Rige Wimmer 4 Jahr den 5te Marz 1812'. 54 × 41 cm (64 x 53 cm). The canvas is doubled. There are age-related cracks, minor peeling and retouching. Needs cleaning.
The present work has the same dimensions as a work sold at the Kunsthallen (auction 175, 9 May 1951, no. 9) depicting an Albert Wimmer and also dated 1812.
A possible attribution based on style could be the portrait painter Hans Hansen (1769-1828).
