Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp

About this work

The image is a portrait of a man, likely a noble or aristocrat, based on his attire. He wears a blue jacket with gold buttons and a white shirt underneath, and his hair is styled in an updo. The background of the painting is a muted gray color. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall mood of the painting is one of seriousness and formality. This painting is a great example of the work of artist David Richter the Younger.
