This miniature portrait, titled "Frederik IV", was created by Hinrich Jacob Pohle between 1723 and 1747. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the King of Denmark and Norway, Frederik IV, in a striking pose. His long, flowing wig and ornate armor, a symbol of his royal authority, are expertly rendered in detail, capturing the essence of this influential monarch. The oval format, a popular choice for miniatures, accentuates the intimacy of the portrayal, making it a compelling example of 18th-century portraiture.
