In June 2002, 45 years after the Hansen family had its picture taken in Sevilla, I stayed with my mother, Grete, and my grandmother, 92-year-old Gudrun, at Virumgade 15 in Virum, Denmark — Gudrun's home since 1962. I made the drawing from my photos showing these two subjects in a different light. Widowed Gudrun looks upon her garden backyard in after-dinner shadow as the sunset fills deceased Poul's large chair and lights my mother from one side. Gudrun Wagner Hansen died at the Solbjerghaven nursing home in nearby Værløse on 21 December 2007. This drawing memorializes her final summer at Virumgade 15.
