Mandsportræt 1726 - 1748

"Mandsportræt" (Male Portrait) is a miniature portrait by Danish artist David Gardelle, created between 1726 and 1748. The artwork depicts a man with a white beard and gray hair wearing a dark robe and a large white ruff around his neck. The intimate size of the painting, measuring just 11.3 cm by 8.7 cm, is characteristic of miniature portraiture, a popular genre during the 18th century. The painting is currently held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
