Købke's own repetition of the portrait at aros (inv. No. 483) with the same measurement. That one reproduced hans edvard nørregård-nielsen, “christen købke” vol i, 1996 p. 88. In 1829, købke received an invitation from his friend and fellow student emmerik høegh-guldberg in aarhus and spent the summer in emmerik's childhood home there. Emmerik's talent was not as well-developed as købke's. Only a few paintings are known by emmerik's hand. He ended up teaching in aarhus and as a curator at aarhus museum. Emmerik had hoped to be able to become an officer as his father; but gave up the idea. However, there was a passionate hunter left in him, and the youthful face with the friendly eyes is coloured by outdoor life, as the skin of a killed marten he has tied around his cap.
