About the piece
Painted by Gustaf Wilhelm Finnberg in 1826, this oil portrait captures Sublieutenant Anton af Tengström in his ceremonial military uniform. The work exhibits the artist's skill in rendering the textures of the dark cloth, the metallic sheen of the gold epaulettes, and the soft features of the young subject.
