August Pott 1831

This 1831 lithograph by Wilhelm Heuer depicts August Pott, a Danish violinist. The artist captures Pott in a formal portrait, his hands delicately positioned on the violin. The image is rendered in grayscale, with subtle shading adding depth to the figure. Heuer’s work reflects the neoclassical style that emphasized idealized realism, capturing Pott’s likeness with precision and attention to detail. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the life and artistic talents of a notable figure in Danish musical history.
