Literature:

Jesper Svenningsen, “Historiefortælling. På flugt fra patos” i “Eckersberg”, The National Gallery of Denmark, exhibition catalogue 2016, note 7 p. 149. Here Svenningsen writes about the present drawing (in Danish): “Furthermore a drawing in a private collection depicts a girl opposing her mother's attempt to leave her in the hands of a old unattractive man - perhaps a draft of a scene between the interrogation of the man and his escape through the window.”

Provenance:

The estate auction of the late C. W. Eckersberg 1854 no. 121. Here purchased by Benjamin Wolff (1790–1866) (Lugt 420). Thence by descent
