Portræt af Kammerherreinde Johanne de Svanenskjold f. Neergaard 1804 - 1856

"Portræt af Kammerherreinde Johanne de Svanenskjold f. Neergaard," is a miniature portrait painted by Cornelius Høyer, a Danish artist active in the late 18th century. This intimate artwork, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures Johanne de Svanenskjold, a noblewoman, in a delicate and refined manner. The oval format and the delicate brushstrokes are characteristic of portrait miniatures, a popular genre in the 18th century. The portrait is likely a testament to the importance of family and social status in Danish society during this period.
