This sepia-toned drawing by Heinrich Gustav Ferdinand Holm depicts a peaceful scene in the garden behind the Schimmelmann Mansion in Copenhagen. The artist, active in the early 19th century, captures the intimate gathering of four figures in the garden, surrounded by dense foliage. The drawing's realistic detail, a hallmark of Holm's style, provides a glimpse into the leisurely life of Copenhagen's elite in the early 1800s. The drawing is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offering viewers a window into Danish history and artistic tradition.
