Studie af en ung kvinde (Oline Købke) 1855

Constantin Hansen’s *Studie af en ung kvinde (Oline Købke)* is a portrait study of a young woman. The work, created in 1855, depicts a young woman with long flowing hair and a simple headband. Hansen was a Danish Romantic painter known for his portraits and historical scenes. This study, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and naturalistic approach. The work provides a glimpse into the artist’s process and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This small but significant work is a testament to the enduring power of portraiture and its ability to connect us across time.
