Peter Hiort Lorenzen, slesvigsk stænderdeputeret, kunstnerens svoger 1840 - 1844

This portrait, painted by Danish artist C.A. Jensen between 1840 and 1844, depicts Peter Hiort Lorenzen, a prominent figure in the Slesvig Stænderdeputeret (the Slesvig Estates Assembly). The painting, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of Jensen’s realistic style, capturing Lorenzen’s likeness in a formal pose, dressed in the attire of the era. Jensen's skill in conveying detail is evident in the intricate folds of Lorenzen's clothing and the subtle expression on his face. This portrait provides a glimpse into the history of Danish society during the 19th century.
