Portrait of Baroness Alexandrina Simplicia Nicolai, nee Princess Broglie (1824). Christian Albrecht Jensen (Danish, 1792-1870). Oil on canvas. Hermitage.Apart from his many copies of Old Masters, he is exceptional in Danish art of his time in devoting himself solely to portrait painting. He went to Copenhagen c. 1810 to study at the Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi, where he was taught by Christian August Lorentzen, with whom he also studied privately. In 1816 Jensen embarked on an extended educational journey to Rome where he painted a series of small, intimate portraits of acquaintances, and in these paintings he developed his own style. -- source link
