Sommerdag i haven ved Iselingen.

From the auction notes: Professor Martin Hammerich (1811–1881) was among other things headmaster at Borgerdydsskolen (the civic virtue school) in Christianshavn and a writer of literary history. In 1841, he married Anna Mathea Aagaard (1820–1904), whose family owned Iselingen manor. The manor was handed over to Martin and Anna Hammerich in 1867.

An almost identical painting from the same year with the same dimensions belongs to the Vordingborg Museums. This illustrated in Jesper Brandt Andersen (ed.), “Martin Hammerich - Kunst og dannelse i Guldalderen”, 2011, fig. 17 p. 218, and it can be seen in an interior photo from the north wall in the Living Room at Iselingen, fig. 26 p. 226.
