EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Princess Sophie Hedvig of Danmark, painted by Georg Saleman around the 1710s, showcases the regal beauty and striking direct gaze of the historic figure. The Princess, a member of the House of Oldenburg, is depicted in an oval-shaped, one-person miniature, with a head and shoulders composition. The painting is a masterful blend of watercolour and gouache on parchment, creating a rich and vibrant color palette. Princess Sophie Hedvig, born in 1677, was the daughter of King Christian V of Denmark and Norway and Queen Charlotte Amalia of Brandenburg-Holstein. She is seen here wearing an elegant hairstyle, adorned with ermine fur, which was a symbol of royalty and nobility during the 18th century. Her hairdo is intricately styled, with soft curls framing her face and a center parting that adds to her refined appearance. The portrait exudes a sense of heritage and history, as if inviting us to delve deeper into the life and legacy of this remarkable woman. The painting is now on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate visitors with its regal charm and historic significance. Saleman, a renowned artist of the time, skillfully captures the essence of the Princess, her direct gaze engaging the viewer and transporting us back to the 18th century. The metal frame, with its ornate design, adds to the overall grandeur of the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of historic portraiture.
