Ung dame med blottet barm 1756 - 1804

"Ung dame med blottet barm" (Young Lady with Bare Breast) is an 18th-century miniature painting by Danish artist Cornelius Høyer. The artwork, created between 1756 and 1804, showcases a young woman in a loose-fitting white dress with a red sash, her bosom partially exposed. Her hair is adorned with a floral wreath, and she is set against a blurred landscape background. The work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Høyer's mastery of miniature painting and his ability to capture the subtle beauty of the human form. The piece offers a glimpse into the artistic trends and societal norms of the late 18th century in Denmark.
