Christian Johan Bredsdorff 1841

Ferdinand Richardt's 1841 lithograph, "Christian Johan Bredsdorff," is a portrait of the Danish jurist and politician. The artwork depicts Bredsdorff in a formal pose, his age and experience reflected in his thoughtful expression. Richardt's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism in the portrait. Now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this work is a valuable historical document and a fine example of 19th-century portraiture.
