Portræt af den schweiziske naturvidenskabsmand og filosof Charles Bonnet (1720-93) 1779

This is a portrait of the Swiss naturalist and philosopher Charles Bonnet by Danish artist Jens Juel, created in 1779. The drawing is rendered in graphite on paper and showcases Bonnet in profile, his powdered wig styled in a fashionable manner of the 18th century. Juel's careful attention to detail in capturing Bonnet's features highlights the artist's skill in portraiture and offers a glimpse into the intellectual circles of the Enlightenment era. The drawing is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
