About the piece
Painted in 1802 by the renowned Danish artist Jens Juel, this portrait captures Marcus Holst von Schmidten in a rare moment of dynamic movement. The boy’s elegant period dress and the detailed backdrop of a manor house and lush gardens exemplify the refined and luminous style of the Danish Golden Age.
