Mandsportræt is a 1827 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a person with curly hair and round glasses. They’re wearing a high-collared shirt with a bow tie, looking straight ahead with a neutral expression. The background is plain and dark, keeping focus on their face. The signature in the corner says "G.A. Løvenskiold 1827," but this is actually an early photograph, not a painting. That makes it one of the oldest photos we have. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style used emotion and detail in art.
