This 1748-1751 drawing by Marcus Tuscher depicts Frederik Wilhelm Holstein, a Danish nobleman, in formal attire. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, shows Holstein standing in a grand setting, likely his home or a royal palace. The depiction of Holstein, with his elegant clothes and relaxed posture, conveys a sense of power and social standing, characteristic of portraiture during the 18th century. The drawing's meticulous detail and subtle shading showcase Tuscher's skill in capturing the subject's likeness. This work provides valuable insight into the visual culture and social norms of 18th-century Denmark.
