About the piece
Painted in 1797 by Carl Frederik von Breda, this masterful portrait depicts the artist's father, Lucas von Breda. The work showcases the influence of late 18th-century European portraiture with its loose, expressive brushwork and the subject's commanding presence set against a stormy, low-horizon sky.
