About the piece
Painted in 1772 by Jens Juel, this masterfully executed oil portrait depicts Otto Christopher von Munthe af Morgenstierne. The subject’s vibrant red coat, trimmed with dark fur and gold detailing, provides a bold focal point against the moody, dark background, characteristic of 18th-century European portraiture.
