Portræt af fru Dorothea Frederiksen, f. Heering 1877

Frederik Vermehren's 1877 oil painting, *Portræt af fru Dorothea Frederiksen, f. Heering,* depicts a woman in a somber black dress, her hands clasped in her lap. Her white hair is framed by a dark cap, and her expression is contemplative. The meticulous detail of the lace collar and the sitter's delicate hands are characteristic of Vermehren's realist style, highlighting the craftsmanship of his work. This portrait, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the life of a 19th-century woman.
