The Green Room
The walls in the Green Room are lined with green silk damask, which lent the room its name. However, the room may also be a nod to the Green Room at Copenhagen Castle, which served as the King's reception room.
Above the doors in the Green Room, birds fly through various Danish landscapes in paintings by the relatively unknown painter Alfred Christiansen.
An ordinary house painter
Alfred Christiansen worked as an ordinary house painter at the third Christiansborg Palace. Through his work, he came into contact with the Royal Family, who heard that he was an artist in his spare time. The Royal Family were so taken with his paintings that some of them were mounted above the doors in the Green Room at Christiansborg Palace. The pictures combine landscapes with water and birds and depict different regions of Denmark.

The Green Room was designed by the architect Hans Tegner.
