Ida Thiele, the future Mrs Wilde, as a Child is a 1832 oil by Christen Købke, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a young girl with curly blonde hair, wearing a red dress with puffy sleeves. She sits at a wooden table, her right arm resting on it, with a small piece of paper and a pencil in front of her. The background is a muted pinkish-beige color. The girl's gaze is directed to the left, and her expression is neutral. Her hair is styled in loose curls, framing her face. The overall atmosphere of the painting is calm and serene. The artist's use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. This painting invites the viewer to reflect on the beauty of everyday moments.
