About the piece
Painted in 1770 by Peder Als, this commanding portrait depicts Count Eggert Christopher Knuth in his formal military attire. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering the rich textures of the red wool coat, the silk blue sash, and the glimmering insignia of honor, set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's dignified expression.
