Changing of the Guard 1888

"Changing of the Guard", painted in 1888 by Danish artist Erik Henningsen, captures a moment of everyday life in Copenhagen. The painting depicts a military band marching through the streets, their uniforms and instruments gleaming in the sunlight. In the foreground, a group of children watch the procession, their faces a mix of curiosity and wonder. The scene, filled with vibrant colors and realistic detail, is a testament to Henningsen's skill as a painter of genre scenes. The artwork is currently on display at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
