Portrait of C.F. Holm’s children. Adam Vilhelm, Pauline Frederikke and Johan Chr. Julius 1832

Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg's 1832 painting "Portrait of C.F. Holm’s children. Adam Vilhelm, Pauline Frederikke and Johan Chr. Julius," captures the innocence of childhood. The three siblings, dressed in their finest attire, are engrossed in a large, open book. The painting is a classic example of Eckersberg's realist style, known for its meticulous detail and natural light. The children's expressions, along with the book's central position, suggest a moment of shared learning and discovery, capturing the spirit of 19th-century family life.
