Robert Henrik Rehbinder (1777-1841) is a work by Johan Erik Lindh, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This is a portrait of a man in his 50s or 60s. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt with a high collar, and a bright red-and-black sash across his chest. Around his neck are several medals and stars, pinned to his jacket. His hair is dark and slightly wavy, and he has a serious expression. The painting looks like it was made with fine lines and shading, giving it a textured feel. The dark background keeps the focus on his face and decorations.
