This room’s ceiling and walls are covered in a delicate pink floral-patterned voile rendered with virtuoso brushwork; light entering through the window leads to the dematerialization of form and the softening of fine details. The mirror on the vanity reflects a mirror elsewhere in the room, which trasmits the filtered light from the window back at the vanity, lending a note of complexity to the scene.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).
