Martin Scheffel

Sweden

Martin Scheffel is a Sweden Biedermeier artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Nationalmuseum.

Martin Scheffel made small metal relief portraits in 18th-century Sweden. The app shows four: a young woman’s profile, General Fredrik Horn, Baron Erland Broman, and State Councillor Joachim Beck-Friis. Each face is finely chased in silver or bronze, with wigs and coats caught in swirling lines. Want to see how the metal catches the light? Tap “Nuoren naisen muotokuva” to zoom in on the young woman’s delicate ear curl.
