That one is owned by the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery) and deposited at the City Hall of Copenhagen. The two paintings are not identical, but have the same kind of expression of daily life in the capital. Another version with the measurements 42×63 cm and dated 1867, was sold at ABR auction, 2002, no. 1166 for 680.000 Dkr.
