Storfyrst Alexander 1863

This black and white lithograph portrait of Storfyrst Alexander, created in 1863 by Danish artist Joel Ballin, depicts the subject in a formal setting. Alexander is shown in a military uniform with detailed embellishments, suggesting his high rank and authority. The realistic depiction of his features and attire emphasizes the realism and detail characteristic of 19th-century portraiture. This work, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, provides a glimpse into the visual representation of power and nobility during that era.
