About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Christian Albrecht Jensen, this portrait depicts the theologian Andreas Gottlob Rudelbach. A fine example of the Danish Golden Age, the work utilizes a restricted palette and dramatic lighting to emphasize the sitter's expressive features and the crisp texture of his traditional ruff collar.
