Susanne Juel (1793–1840), called Sanne, was married to the painter C. W. Eckersberg (1783–1853) in 1828, the year after her sister Julie (1791–1827), Eckersberg's second wife, had died. The National Gallery of Denmark owns a portrait by Eckersberg dated 1823 of Susanne Juel as a grown-up (Inv. No. KMS1775).
