>This bedroom’s ceiling and walls are covered in delicate pink floral-patterned fabric. Daylight streaming through the drapery softens the edges of forms and blurs details, creating an ethereal rose-colored glow. The mirror in front of the window reflects parts of the room that cannot otherwise be seen.
It was probably Gertner’s reputation as a portraitist that led to the opportunity to paint this interior in Bernstorff Palace following its 1842 renovation by Christian VIII, King of Denmark (r. 1840–48).
