En gejstlig 1726 - 1748

This miniature portrait, "En gejstlig," was painted by Danish artist David Gardelle (1726-1748) between 1726 and 1748. The work depicts a man in a dark clerical robe, with a long, flowing white wig, suggesting a clergyman. The detailed brushstrokes and delicate ivory tones are characteristic of Gardelle's miniature style, and the small size (6.7 cm x 5.4 cm) suggests it was intended for private viewing. The artwork is now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing the artistic talents of this 18th-century Danish painter.
