Anna louise Heger 1747 - 1819

Hans Heger's "Anna Louise Heger" is a red chalk drawing depicting the artist's wife in profile. The portrait captures Anna Louise's elegant hairstyle, featuring elaborate curls and a ribbon. The simple composition and delicate lines of the drawing highlight Heger's skill as a portraitist, capturing the likeness of his subject with precision and grace. The work, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the style of portraiture prevalent in 18th-century Denmark.
