Portrait of a Gentleman 1784 - 1838

This miniature portrait, titled "Portrait of a Gentleman", was created by French artist Charles Pierre Cior between 1784 and 1838. The work, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts an unknown gentleman in a dark coat with a white cravat. The intricate detail and fine brushstrokes are characteristic of Cior's miniature painting style, which was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The oval format of the painting, a common choice for miniatures, further emphasizes the delicate and intimate nature of this portrait.
