About the piece
Dating to approximately 1780, this oil portrait by Anders Bergius is a masterclass in period style and color. The subject is depicted in a vibrant red coat accented with teal lapels, a combination that remains visually arresting in a contemporary interior. The dark, atmospheric background pushes the subject forward, emphasizing the fine textures of the wig, lace, and polished buttons.
