The Artist and his Wife Rosine, née Dørschel 1791

This painting by Jens Juel, titled *The Artist and his Wife Rosine, née Dørschel*, depicts the artist and his wife in their home studio, the year being 1791. Juel, a Danish painter, uses a soft, naturalistic style to depict this intimate moment between the couple. The scene is set in a room with a canvas easel to the right, a small table with papers to the left and a portrait hanging on the wall behind them. The artist is seen holding a palette with paints, while Rosine, dressed in a yellow and white gown, looks lovingly at her husband. Juel captures the quiet intimacy of domestic life, a theme that became increasingly popular in European art during the late 18th century.
