About the piece
Painted around 1800 by Jens Juel, this masterful oil portrait depicts Peter Tutein with his youngest son, Louis Alexander. The work is characterized by Juel’s soft, luminous lighting and a warm, earth-toned palette that emphasizes the intimate bond between the subjects. Juel, a prominent Danish portraitist, captures a sense of quiet dignity and familial affection typical of the late 18th-century style.
