Skægget Olding, Brystbillede 1733 - 1816

This etching, titled "Skægget Olding, Brystbillede", was created by Danish artist W.A. Müller between 1733 and 1816. It features a close-up portrait of an older man with a long beard, captured in a detailed and expressive style. The artist’s masterful use of lines creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the subject’s contemplative gaze. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and stands as a testament to Müller's artistic talent and the enduring power of portraiture.
