C. V. Nielsen

Many aspiring architects attending his drawing school in preparation for admission to the Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole.

He was born to Peter Christian Nielsen, a master carpenter, and his wife, Ane Kirstine née Sørensen.

From 1847 to 1856, he was a regular visitor to a private school operated by G.F. Hetsch; first as an apprentice, then as an assistant.

In 1861, he married Caroline Jakobine Sørensen (1836-1878), the daughter of a master turner.

In addition to teaching, he was a regular contributor of drawings to the Illustreret Tidende, and produced a series of technically precise watercolors, depicting structural features.
