Catalogue Note

Lafrensen painted at least two other variants of this composition: a watercolour measuring 27.5 by 21.5 cm in the Musée Cognacq-Jay, Paris (inv. no. 158) and a miniature in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (inv. no. NMB 1686). While the figure group in each work is similar the arrangement of the furniture differs.
