Portræt af fabriksmester og kommandørkaptajn Henrik Gerner. Ovalt, trekvart profil mod højre 1785

This pastel portrait of Henrik Gerner, a factory master and captain, was created in 1785 by Danish painter Jens Juel. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Gerner in an oval frame, with his head turned slightly to the right. Juel's use of pastels creates a soft, delicate effect, highlighting Gerner's features and the intricate details of his military attire. This portrait is a fine example of Juel's mastery of pastel portraiture, capturing the sitter's personality and social status with precision.
