Summary
Description H. G. F. Holm - Langelinie.png |
English:
Langelinie seen from Kastellet. In the foreground a young couple with a
dog. 1830s. Unsigned. Drawing ink, wash and watercolour on paper laid on paper. Sheet size 11.5 x 15 cm. Provenance: Bruun Rasmussen auction 739, 2005 no. 1973, reproduced. The dwarf in the foreground is Greenwild Wynn, son of the English envoy Sir William Wynn. He was a well-known figure in Copenhagen, partly due to his dwarf growth, but especially for his ridiculous courtship of the popular ballet dancer Lucile Grahn. William Wynn is said to have been among Holm's patrons, and it is obvious that this particular drawing has been in the pos�session of the Wynns family |
