From Wikipedia:
Henrichsen was born into a working-class family in Copenhagen in 1824. He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen for plaster modeling from March 1840 until March 1843, but was absent in January 1845; he received drawing instruction from Frederik Ferdinand Helsted from 1845–1849.[1]
From the late 1840s, he created vast number of paintings from Copenhagen and North Zealand. He received the Neuhausen Award in 1855 and a grant from the Academy in 1858.
