About the piece
This 1725 oil portrait by Johan Henrik Scheffel depicts Colonel Henrik Falkenberg af Bålby with the formal dignity characteristic of the era. The subject is rendered with a meticulous attention to texture, from the soft curls of his powdered wig to the metallic sheen of his breastplate and the brilliant blue of his silk coat, all set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop.
