unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kuvanveistäjä Burchard Precht is an unspecified by David von Krafft, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in a fancy blue and white outfit with big, curly white hair. His collar is stiff and white, and his sleeves have gold trim and tiny orange buttons. A dark fur shoulder piece adds a touch of luxury, and his face looks calm but serious. The painting focuses on his face and upper body, with a plain black background. The artist used soft light and shadow to make his features stand out. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
David Krafft, from 1719 David von Krafft (1655 – 20 September 1724), was a German-Swedish painter, the nephew and student of David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl and his successor (in 1698) as painter to the Swedish Royal Court.
