Dameportræt 1726 - 1748

"Dameportræt" (Lady Portrait) is a miniature portrait of an unknown woman painted by David Gardelle between 1726 and 1748. The work, currently held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a woman with an elaborate hairstyle, wearing a pink dress with a lace collar. The small size and delicate detail of the painting are typical of the 18th-century miniature portrait genre, often created as keepsakes or personal mementos. This charming portrait allows us to glimpse the style and fashion of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes during the Rococo period.
