Olding med langt Skæg 1733 - 1816

"Olding med langt Skæg" is a small etching by Danish artist W.A. Müller, created between 1733 and 1816, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts a detailed study of an older man's head, with emphasis on his long beard. The simple, yet expressive lines of the etching highlight the subject's weathered features, capturing a sense of age and experience. This intimate portrait, measuring just 71 mm by 60 mm, showcases Müller's skill in conveying character through subtle detail.
