Idealt ynglingehoved 1726 - 1748

"Idealt ynglingehoved" (Ideal Young Head) is a miniature portrait by Danish artist David Gardelle, created between 1726 and 1748. The painting depicts a young person's head in profile, with a delicate and idealized rendering. The subject's features are soft and smooth, with a gentle expression, showcasing Gardelle's artistic skill in capturing youthful beauty. This small-scale work, measuring only 6.1 cm high and 5.2 cm wide, is a testament to Gardelle's talent for detail and precision. The piece is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
