About the piece
This refined portrait by Heinrich Jacob Pohle depicts King Frederik IV of Denmark and Norway in a position of sovereign power. Dressed in gleaming plate armor with the blue sash of an order, the King is draped in a luxurious ermine-lined cloak, emphasizing his royal status alongside the crown positioned in the background. The work captures the stately elegance and formal composure typical of European court art from the mid-1700s.
