Kielentutkija, kanslianeuvos Johan Ihre is a work by Gustaf Lundberg, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This drawing shows a man with a serious expression. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man is Johan Ihre, a kanslianeuvos, which is a Finnish title. The artist used soft pastel colors to create this portrait. The pastel on paper technique gives the drawing a delicate look. It's interesting that the artist chose to use pastels, which can be fragile and prone to smudging. You can learn more about the technique used in this drawing by looking into the technique: cross-hatching, stippling, but this drawing is actually made with pastel, so you might want to look at the work of the artist: Lundberg, Gustaf.
Gustaf Lundberg (17 August 1695 – 18 March 1786) was a Swedish rococo pastelist and portrait painter. He trained and worked in Paris and later was appointed court portrait painter in Stockholm.
