Juliane Elise Larpent (née Mathisen), painted by Aument in 1827

She was born in Copenhagen in 1807, and died in Oslo in 1890. Multiple portraits and photographs exists of her, but this is by far my favourite. Her hairdo and overall appearance is smashing - but even more exciting: the golden buckle she wears in the portrait has survived and is still within the family.
