Herreportræt 1726 - 1748

"Herreportræt" is a portrait miniature created by Danish artist David Gardelle between 1726 and 1748. The work, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts an unidentified man in a dark coat, a white ruffled collar, and a white beard. The miniature's intimate scale and detailed execution are characteristic of portrait miniatures popular in the 18th century. The work showcases Gardelle's talent for capturing likeness and subtle details. The painting’s small size suggests that it was likely intended for private viewing.
