About the piece
Painted in 1825 by Johan Christian Dahl, this portrait depicts General Karol Kniaziewicz in his later years. Standing atop a rocky outcrop against a melancholic, misty background, the general is captured with a sense of quiet dignity, his dark blue coat and thoughtful expression rendered with masterful Romantic-era brushwork.
