Caricature portrait of a man 1650 - 1750

This anonymous 18th-century caricature portrait, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man's exaggerated features in charcoal on paper. The drawing's sketchy, expressive lines highlight the subject's prominent nose and wide, open mouth, creating a humorous and slightly grotesque effect, characteristic of caricature art. This type of artwork often served as social commentary, poking fun at individuals or societal trends of the time.
