The painting influenced later Danish portraiture through its refined composition and psychological depth, particularly shaping group portrait conventions in the mid-19th century. It contributed to renewed scholarly interest in Eckersberg's role in bridging neoclassicism and emerging realism, as evidenced by its prominent display in the Statens Museum for Kunst's permanent collection since its acquisition. The work remains a reference point for studies of aristocratic family dynamics in Nordic art history, cited in multiple museum publications analyzing 19th-century portraiture trends.
