Kunstnerens datter Margrethe 1886

"Kunstnerens datter Margrethe" (The Artist's Daughter Margrethe), painted in 1886 by Danish artist August Jerndorff, is a portrait of his daughter in a contemplative pose. The painting captures the innocence of childhood as Margrethe sits at a desk, her hand resting on her chin, with a thoughtful expression. Executed with a delicate touch, the work is a testament to Jerndorff's skill in capturing the likeness and subtle emotions of his subject. This intimate portrayal of a child is a classic example of genre painting, which focused on everyday life and ordinary people, and showcases Jerndorff's talent in conveying realism and naturalism. The painting is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
