About the piece

Painted in 1771 by the Swedish master Ulrika Pasch, this elegant portrait depicts a young boy in a formal powdered wig and a soft lavender-grey coat. Leaning over a wooden desk, he points toward a map of Scandinavia, his calm expression and the soft, atmospheric lighting lending the piece a scholarly and timeless quality.
