Gerhard Giese Salicath 1847

This 1847 lithograph, titled "Gerhard Giese Salicath," was created by Danish artist Just Hansen, known for his portraits. The work depicts the subject in a formal, almost somber pose. The subject, a prominent individual judging by the medals, is dressed in a dark, high-collared garment typical of the time period, emphasizing the formality of the occasion. The detailed depiction of the subject and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique employing contrast between light and dark areas, contribute to the realistic portrayal. The print is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
