The artist with his Family

-
Oil on canvas, 137 x 112 cm
Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

This informal self-portrait shows the artist with his family. His wife, Maria Fern, is shown with an open book, presumably the Bible, and lovingly clasping her mother's hand. All three look toward the spectator with alert gazes.
