About the piece
Painted in 1749 by Isak Wacklin, this portrait depicts Jørgen Wichfeld in the elegant fashion of the Rococo period. The subject wears a powdered wig and a muted grey coat, accented by a vibrant yellow waistcoat and a hint of draped pink fabric, illustrating the high-society portraiture styles of the Finnish National Gallery's historical collection.
