EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century oil painting, created by Danish artist Johan Horner, depicts a proud and confident Danish officer of the Royal Guards of the Horse. Dressed in the elaborate uniform of the Royal Horse Guard regiment, the officer wears a red, double-breasted coat with gold buttons and a white waistcoat. The collar and cuffs of his jacket are trimmed with lace, and he wears a black hat adorned with a white feather. The officer's wig, also in the style of the time, is carefully arranged and held in place with a ribbon. The officer gazes directly at the viewer with a steady and determined expression, his right hand resting casually in the open front of his coat. He wears a pair of white gloves, a sign of his rank and status. The background is simple, with a plain wall and a window providing a subtle contrast to the ornate uniform. This painting, which dates back to the 1750s, is a testament to the fashion and military traditions of the time. It was likely created as a portrait to commemorate the officer's service in the Royal Horse Guard regiment, which was an elite unit of the Danish military. The painting is now part of the collection at the Gavleborg County Museum in Sweden, where it continues to be a valuable piece of heritage art and a reminder of Denmark's rich military history.
