Exhibition history Statens Museum for Kunst, “Eckersberg - En smuk løgn”, 2015, no. 1, mentioned and reproduced p. 197.
References The painting was initially linked to Eckersberg in 1963 by the authors J. Fabricius-Møller and Ove Brusendorff in “Illustreret populært seksual leksikon”, Copenhagen 1963, p.191. Since then the attribution has been supported by art historians, including Marianne Saabye and Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen (both 1994). The latter describes the painting as “so well executed that it almost excludes others”. Literature: Marianne Saabye, “Mellem ideal og virkelighed. C.W. Eckersberg og modelstudiet”, i “Den Nøgne Guldalder”, The Hirschsprung Collection, 1994, mentioned p. 22, reproduced p. 21. Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen, “Gyldne dage og mørke nætter. Omkring Kongens Nytorv”, 1994 and 2000, mentioned p. 89–91, reproduced without frame p. 91. Dan Ch. Christensen, “Romantikkens natursyn. H.C.

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 1853, 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.
