This portrait shows a man in a fancy 18th-century outfit. His dark coat has gold buttons, a red collar, and lace cuffs. A star-shaped medal sits on his chest, and he holds a yellow glove in one hand. His hair is powdered, and the background is plain and dark. The painting was made by a woman artist, which was unusual at the time. The colors are bright but simple, focusing on the man’s clothes and face. Look up Pasch, Ulrika Fredrika to see more of her work.
