About the piece

Painted in 1766 by Olof Arenius, this formal portrait captures Baron Nils Palmstjerna in a moment of stately composure. The work highlights the artist's skill in rendering the contrasting textures of powdered hair, soft ermine fur, and the metallic glint of the Baron's various medals and orders.
