About the piece
Painted by the Swedish master Alexander Roslin in 1763, this portrait depicts Ulrik Scheffer in a moment of diplomatic or scholarly reflection. The work is a tour de force of texture, showcasing Roslin's legendary ability to render the tactile qualities of heavy velvet, intricate lace, and powdered hair against a deep, atmospheric teal backdrop.
