About the piece
Painted in 1836, this intimate portrait depicts Colonel Joachim Theodor Lundbye, the artist’s father. Johan Lundbye, a prominent figure of the Danish Golden Age, employs a focused, painterly style to capture the weight of character and the rich textures of the military uniform against a deep, atmospheric background.
