J. S. Saxtorph 1835

This 1835 lithograph, titled "J.S. Saxtorph", is a portrait of the Danish jurist and politician by artist David Monies. The detailed, realistic portrayal of Saxtorph, in a formal setting, reflects the style of portraiture popular in the 19th century. Monies, active from 1812 to 1894, is known for his engravings and lithographs, often capturing notable figures from Danish society. The print, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, provides a glimpse into the life of a prominent Danish individual during this period.
