About the piece

This evocative 1810 oil portrait by Caroline Bardua captures the intense, contemplative gaze of Caspar David Friedrich, the preeminent artist of German Romanticism. Dressed in a dark, high-collared coat with decorative frogging, Friedrich is set against a characteristically moody landscape background, mirroring the atmospheric depth found in his own iconic works.
