Jacob Nicolai Prahl 1767 - 1824

This is a portrait of Jacob Nicolai Prahl, a Danish merchant, created in 1767-1824 by artist Andreas Flint (1768-1824). The print depicts Prahl in profile, wearing a dark coat and white collar, set against a dark background. The circular format and simple composition, typical of portraiture, creates an intimate and engaging portrait of the sitter. This engraving is a prime example of Danish portraiture from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, offering a glimpse into the lives of individuals from that era. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
