About the piece

Painted in 1806 by Swedish artist Per Krafft the Younger, this tender portrait depicts Carolina Mandorff as a child. The work is characterized by its soft, naturalistic lighting and the subject's direct yet gentle gaze as she leans thoughtfully against a wooden chair, embodying the refined simplicity of the early 19th-century portraiture.
