Portrait of Count Jørgen Scheel (1721-1786) 1737

"Portrait of Count Jørgen Scheel" is an oil-on-canvas portrait painted by Louis de Silvestre d.Y. in 1737. The painting, which is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts Count Scheel in a three-quarter-length pose, wearing armor and a fur-trimmed robe. The artist's attention to detail and use of light and shadow create a striking and realistic image of the nobleman. The portrait is a testament to Silvestre's skill as a portraitist and his ability to capture the individual character of his subject.
