Thomasine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd 1748 - 1831

This etching by J.F. Clemens, created between 1748 and 1831, depicts Thomasine Gyllembourg-Ehrensvärd, a prominent Danish author known for her romantic novels. The portrait captures her in a contemplative pose, her hand resting gently on her chin. Dressed in a simple gown and a shawl, she exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. This artwork, part of the collection at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offers a glimpse into the life and work of a significant literary figure of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
