En munk med tillukkede øjne 1726 - 1748

"En munk med tillukkede øjne" (A Monk with Closed Eyes) is a miniature oil painting by Danish artist David Gardelle. The painting depicts a monk in a brown habit, his eyes closed in prayer. The small size and intimate portraiture are typical of miniature paintings, which were often created as personal devotional objects. This work, created between 1726 and 1748, is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
