Original - The painting Riksforsamlingen på Eidsvoll 1814 was probably begun in 1882. The picture includes 55 portraits of the constitutional fathers. (Not all of the 112 persons are viewable.) It is today located in the Norwegian Parliament, behind the speaker's platform and the presidential podium.
Edit 1: This is what I'd expect the colours to look like - though that doesn't mean I'm right. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:05, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Edit 2: Or maybe it's between the two?
