"Portræt af en lille pige" (Portrait of a Little Girl), painted in 1767 by Levin Elias, depicts a young girl in an elaborate dress. The painting, now located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, shows the sitter's youthful innocence with a delicate touch, highlighting the elegance of the Rococo style. Elias, who sadly died the same year he created this portrait, captures a moment in time, preserving the child's charm for posterity. This captivating portrait exemplifies the artistic trends of the era and showcases the skill of a talented, albeit short-lived, Danish artist.
