Kongelig lakaj med to tomme bakker 1807

"Kongelig lakaj med to tomme bakker" ("Royal footman with two empty trays") is an 1807 watercolor by Danish artist Johannes Senn (1780-1861). The painting, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a detailed portrayal of a royal footman in full regalia, standing with two empty serving trays, highlighting the elegance and formality of court life in early 19th century Denmark. The meticulous depiction of the footman's attire, from the red and gold embroidered jacket to the white stockings and shoes, is typical of Senn's style, capturing the essence of fashion and societal norms of the period.
