About the piece
Painted in 1797 by the celebrated Danish portraitist Jens Juel, this grand-scale work captures Niels Ryberg alongside his son and daughter-in-law. The figures are masterfully integrated into a rolling landscape that leads the eye toward the family estate in the distance, combining the dignity of a formal portrait with the naturalistic beauty of the outdoors.
