About the piece
Painted in 1752 by Peder Als, this Rococo portrait depicts the Danish Court Jeweller Christopher Fabritius and his wife, Gundel. The composition highlights the couple's status through meticulously rendered silk, lace, and embroidery, while a vibrant garland of flowers adds a touch of romantic naturalism characteristic of the era.
