Ung mand 1726 - 1748

"Ung mand" (Young Man) is a miniature portrait by Danish artist David Gardelle, created between 1726 and 1748. The painting, which depicts a young man in a black jacket and white shirt, is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate brushwork and the subtle play of light and shadow. Gardelle's miniature portraits are now considered masterpieces of Danish art and are preserved in various art institutions, including the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst.
