I think in the past thread on General News about the Danish Royal Family, Muhler posted about a royal portrait of the Queen and her family being done,
" a large painting by Thomas Kluge will be unveiled soon. It depicts all members of the DRF with Christian in the centre. The other older children, including Felix and Nikolai, will line up beside Christian and the small children will appear in the back with their parents.
There is a picture in the article of the part of the picture with Christian. He is sitting on a chair with Prince Henrik's hand resting on the chair, so presumably the Regent Couple will stand behind Christian.
A book about the painting is about to be published as well.
The painting measuring 2.10 X 2.10 meters will eventually hang at Fredensborg Palace.
- Thomas Kluge's style is almost photographic and when looking at the cropped image in the article of Christian it looks very promising indeed!
The painting was commisioned at QMII's 70'th birthday by an anonymous donor, not even the artist know who paid for the painting.
It has been slightly delayed because Thomas Kluge in particular wanted the royal children included in the painting. - But then the twins came, to be followed by Athene, and they all had to be old enough to be able to pose, so....
The idea to the painting is actually Thomas Kluge. At a ball at the court in 2009, he said that he would like to paint the entire DRF and that's how it all started. "
I found a little bit more information (apparently a book will be published as well)...
Artist Thomas Kluge is working on a present version of Lauritz Tuxen’s famous group portrait of the Glücksborgs, this time portraying the family of QMII. On the website of the publisher you can check out the front page of the book as well as pictures of the Crown Prince couple selecting the photos used as model for the portrait.
