Notes

In the Catalogue Raisonnés by Mario Krohn (1915) and Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen (1996) three versions of the present motif arementioned (in both Catalogue Raisonnés no. 177, 178 and 179). Itdoes not seem as if the painting here is among the three - all inprivate Danish collections in 1996 - of which two are cited asunsigned (no. 177: measuring 31 x 25.5 cm and no. 179: measuring 30x 24 cm) and one is cited as signed C. K. 44 (no. 178: measuring29.7 x 26.2 cm). Although, the Kunstforeningen exhibition in 1953suggests that the painting is no. 179 in the Catalogue Raisonnéfrom 1915. Due to the comment in the exhibition catalogue from 1953(see below) regarding the inscription Købke Capri, we are confidentthat the present painting was in the exhibition and sold at ABRauction 431, 1981 no. 311.

At the Sotheby sale this was presented as Krohn no. 177, while Bruun Rasmussen stated in 2015 that it was apparently a fourth version of the painting (the others being Krohn no. 177-179).

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1848, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
