Biskop Schönheyder 1765 - 1833

This silhouette portrait of Bishop Schönheyder was created by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde in the 18th century. The work is a fine example of the silhouette genre, which was popular during this period and involved creating images by cutting paper to form a profile. It's housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, Denmark, and provides a glimpse into the life and style of Bishop Schönheyder. The detailed frame and inscription contribute to the overall elegance and historical significance of the piece.
