Portrait of the painter Johan Christian Dahl 1813 - 1816

This portrait of Johan Christian Dahl, painted by C.A. Jensen between 1813 and 1816, captures the young artist in a formal pose, his gaze directed directly at the viewer. Dahl, known for his landscape paintings, is depicted wearing a dark coat and a white cravat, highlighting his youthful features. The subdued lighting and dark background create a sense of intimacy and focus attention on the sitter's face. This portrait, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, offers a glimpse into the life and work of one of Denmark's most celebrated artists.
