En orientalsk scene 1756 - 1804

"En orientalsk scene" is a miniature painting created between 1756 and 1804 by Danish artist Cornelius Høyer. The small, circular artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts an oriental scene with three figures. Two of them are seated, and the third, a woman in a long white dress, stands. The scene suggests a domestic setting. Høyer's work is notable for its delicate brushstrokes and soft, atmospheric light, highlighting the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings. This artwork is a beautiful example of 18th-century Danish art and offers a glimpse into Høyer's artistic practice and the social life of his time.
