Portræt af P. A. Heiberg 1790

Gerhard Ludvig Lahde's 1790 engraving, "Portræt af P. A. Heiberg," depicts the Danish poet and critic, Peter Andreas Heiberg, in profile. The detailed etching captures Heiberg's likeness with a delicate balance of line and shading, highlighting his features with remarkable precision. Lahde, a prominent portrait artist of his time, uses a simple composition with an oval frame, focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the subject. This intimate portrait, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, serves as a visual testament to Heiberg's cultural influence.
