History edit

The idea for the painting was first presented by civil servant Andreas Peter Weis (1851–1935) to director of the Carlsberg Foundation Edvard Holm dated 3 August 1895. The idea was later presented to Krøyer in a letter from the Carlsberg Foundation dated 20 October 1895. Krøyer accepted the offer and the price was set at DKK 25,000–30,000.[1]

The painting was handed over to the Carlsberg Foundation in December 1897. It was accessible for the members of the Royal Academy of Science and Letters from 2 to 6 March 1898 and was subsequently on public display as part of the traditional Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. In January 1900, it was installed in the academy's new premises in the Carlsberg Foundation Building.[citation needed]

In 1900, the painting was temporarily sent to Paris as part of Denmark's contribution to the Exposition Universelle. In 1929, it was on display at the Danish Art Fair in Forum. In 1944, during the Occupation of Denmark in World War II, it was taken down and stored in another location to protect it from possible Schalburgtage. It returned to the building immediately after the war. In 1948, it was moved to the Danish National Gallery to be photographed for the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters' anniversary publication. In connection with the 100-year anniversary of Krøyer's birth in 1951, it was moved to a new permanent location in the academy's meeting room. Two marble pilasters were removed to make room for the painting. From 18 November to 4 December, in association with a memorial exhibition in the Charlottenborg Exhibition Building, it was possible for the public to see the painting in its new location. From May to September 2019, it was loaned out to Skagens Museum for the exhibition Mesterværker – Krøyer på bestilling.[2]
