Kongelig herold 1807

"Kongelig herold" (Royal Herald) is a watercolor by Danish artist Johannes Senn, dating back to 1807. The artwork depicts a royal herald riding a horse, clad in a red and gold uniform with a crown emblazoned on his chest. This detailed portrayal of a royal figure in full regalia is characteristic of Senn's style and was popular in the 19th century, reflecting a fascination with historical figures and elaborate dress. Today, it is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offering a glimpse into the rich tradition of Danish heraldry and the artistry of Johannes Senn.
