Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg executed this oil portrait in 1819, depicting Princess Wilhelmine, the daughter of King Frederik VI of Denmark. The work belongs to the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst and exemplifies the restrained elegance typical of early nineteenth‑century Danish portraiture.

Created during the Biedermeier period, the work reflects contemporary tastes for intimate, domestic representation rather than overt regal pageantry. Its restrained composition aligns with the era’s emphasis on middle‑class values and the portrayal of personal virtue within the Danish royal family.
