About the piece
Painted in 1744 by Johan Hörner, this oil portrait exemplifies the elegance of the mid-18th century. The sitter is depicted with a calm, steady gaze, adorned in a powdered wig and a meticulously rendered blue-grey brocade coat. The contrast between the soft lace ruffles and the structured pattern of the textile highlights the artist's technical skill and the subject's refined status.
