About the piece
Painted around 1741 by Lorens Pasch the Elder, this formal portrait captures Count Carl Gustaf Tessin with a sense of quiet authority. The work highlights a masterful rendering of textures, from the reflective surface of the steel armor to the soft powdered wig and luxurious fur mantle, characteristic of high European portraiture of the period.
