Ung mand 1726 - 1748

"Ung mand" (Young Man) is a miniature portrait painted by David Gardelle, a Danish artist who lived from 1726 to 1748. The portrait, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, depicts a young man with a neutral expression, clothed in a dark jacket and white collar. Gardelle's mastery of detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the subject's hair, skin, and clothing. The painting, a testament to Gardelle's talent, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of 18th-century Denmark.
