The Danish banker and industrialist C. F. Tietgen (1829–1901) completed the prestigious building of Frederiks Kirke, wich had been abandoned for over a hundred years. In order to finance the project he planned to erect a circle of exclusive houses creating a rounded space around the church. It, however, prooved impossible for him to tempt the owners of a few small buildings in the street, Store Kongensgade, into selling, and thus that small area of the square was never a part of Tietgens project. The little house on the painting still exists, and it and later buildings on the site were henceforth known as “Tietgens Ærgrelse” - Tietgens Annoyance.
