The castle is depicted with its distinctive Renaissance architecture, prominently showcasing its multi-tiered towers and ornate roofing.The surroundings of the castle, including the waters in the foreground, add a tranquil and reflective aspect to the scene. Reeds and bushes border the calm water, subtly hinting at the natural beauty juxtaposed with the grandeur of human-made structures. The trees on either side frame the castle, leading the viewer’s eye towards the central edifice, enhancing its majesty and prominence.Købke’s use of fine lines and clear composition in this etching provides not only a visual tour of the castle's exterior but also an atmospheric sense of the location's historical importance and grandiosity. This piece is both a celebration of architectural beauty and a testament to Købke’s skill in capturing the essence of Danish landmarks with grace and precision.

Portraits, landscapes and the beauty of Scandinavian nature by Christen Købke (1810-1848). “The Danish master of light” was one of the best-known artists of the Danish Golden Age. Born in Copenhagen, Købke trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under the portrait painter C.A Lorentzen. It was here that he was introduced to plein-air painting, which became the hallmark of his later work.
