Dear Åse
Further to your investigations, we have just seen a painting by Oscar
Wergeland of the same scene being sold at Grev Wedels Plas on 27th November
for 50,000 Nkr. There is half a page of history about this historical event
in the catalogue. Please let me know if you need any more details.
Best Wishes
