This lithograph, "Didrich Brandis", was created by Danish artist Asmus Kaufmann between 1828 and 1832. It depicts Didrich Brandis, a Danish military officer, in a formal portrait setting. Kaufmann's precise rendering of Brandis' features and attire reflects the artist's skill in portraiture. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the enduring practice of commemorative portraiture, often commissioned to honor individuals for their contributions to society.
