Object history Provenance: Mrs Iversen (1901). Doctor of Medicine Tage Iversen (1916). Kunsthallen auction 334, 1980 no. 1. Sold at Bruun Rasmussen Auctions on November 27, 2018 for DKK 50,000 (Lot 883/​120).
Exhibition history “Raadhusudstillingen af Dansk Kunst til 1890”, 1901 no. 26.
Notes This painting is a repetition of a painting at ARoS (Aarhus Art Museum, inv. no. 595). A drawing/sketch with the same motif is at the National Gallery of Denmark (inv. no. KKSgb3671). The painting at ARoS has had different titles (in Danish): “Alexander sends his emissaries to the Persian king [actually a philosopher]. From him, they receive this answer: ”Tell Alexander that I'm too old to fear him“, (commemorative exhibition at Charlottenborg, 1809, no. 39). And ”A Persian philosopher magnanimously rejects the offers Alexander the Great presents to him through his emissaries." (commemorative exhibition in Copenhagen, 1817, no. 35).

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
