Portrait of John Lambert 1735

Marcus Tuscher’s 1735 “Portrait of John Lambert” depicts the sitter in a richly appointed setting, showcasing his status and wealth. Lambert is dressed in a luxurious fur-trimmed coat and a black cap, with a stack of papers and an ornate rug at his feet, suggesting his profession. The inclusion of an ancient bust in the background alludes to intellectual pursuits and the sitter's connection to classical learning. This Baroque-style portrait, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Tuscher's skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
