Selvportræt 1843 - 1847

Andreas Herman Hunæus's *Selvportræt* (Self-Portrait) from 1843-1847 is a striking example of 19th-century Danish portraiture. The painting, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the artist in a contemplative mood, wearing a straw hat and a dark coat. The background features a subtle landscape, with a hint of a sunset adding a touch of romanticism. Hunæus's self-portrait, executed in oil on canvas, showcases the artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture a sense of introspection and personality through his brushstrokes.
