Artwork Title: Familien Waagepetersen

Familien Waagepetersen, 1836

Wilhelm Marstrand

Mrs. Waagepetersen - in a more flattering portrait, certainly [than in the earlier family portrait by Marstrand] - is, six years later, portrayed by Marstrand with three additional children and what appear to be a nurse (in traditional costume) and a governess. Her husband, not included in the group, would die four years later. Wilhelm Marstrand (24 December 1810, Copenhagen – 25 March 1873, Copenhagen), painter and illustrator, one of the important artists of the "Golden Age of Danish Painting". Like Bendz, he was, early in his career, a protégé of Christian Waagepetersen and was his favored artist after the death of Bendz.
