Multicolor (JHK_s) imaging and photometry of the field of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1841-045 is analyzed in the light of accurate new coordinates from Chandra. From excellent quality images, we find multiple sources in and around the position error circle. Of these, none can be confidently identified as the infrared counterpart. The limiting magnitudes reached were J=22.1, H=20.7, and K_s=19.9 (95% confidence).
