About the piece
This 1757 portrait by Isak Wacklin captures the artist's son, Isak Edvard, with remarkable sensitivity and light. The child's white ruffled shirt glows against the moody shadows of the background, demonstrating the refined painterly technique of the Rococo period in Northern Europe.
