Fru Esther Nathanson f. Herfort 1828 - 1832

This miniature portrait, painted by Liepmann Fraenckel between 1828 and 1832, depicts Fru Esther Nathanson f. Herfort. The intimate scale and delicate detail of the work are characteristic of miniature painting, a popular art form in the 19th century. The sitter's elegant attire and pearl necklace suggest her status and wealth, while Fraenckel's precise brushstrokes capture her likeness with remarkable clarity. Now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this work offers a glimpse into the lives of Danish society during the early 19th century.
