Portræt af dreng med en legetøjshest 1745 - 1806

"Portræt af dreng med en legetøjshest" (Portrait of a Boy with a Toy Horse) is a drawing by Danish artist Jens Juel, created sometime between 1745 and 1806. The drawing depicts a young boy, possibly a member of the Danish aristocracy, seated with a toy horse and a whip in hand. Juel's careful rendering of the boy's clothing and delicate features, as well as the inclusion of the toy horse, provides a glimpse into the life of children in 18th-century Denmark. This drawing is a fine example of Juel's portraiture skills, which were known for their realism and sensitivity.
