Søren N. J. Bloch 1767 - 1824

This 18th-century engraving by Andreas Flint depicts Søren N. J. Bloch in profile, executed in a classical style. Created in 1767-1824, the portrait showcases a realistic depiction of Bloch's features, including his hair, clothing, and facial expression. The circular frame and the fine detail in the engraving highlight the artist's technical skill and the popularity of portraiture in this era. This work, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is an example of an artistic genre that allowed individuals to immortalize themselves or their loved ones.
