Baron H.I. von Düben
1780
Swedish artist Gustaf Lundberg captures Baron H.I. von Düben looking incredibly dapper in this 1780 portrait. Notice the magnificent powdered wig and the luxurious brown cloak with white fur trim—it's the height of aristocratic fashion. Lundberg was a superstar of the Rococo style, famous for his ability to capture the soft, glowing skin tones of the Swedish nobility. He spent years in Paris learning from the masters before returning home, and this portrait shows off that French influence with its elegant, relaxed pose and gentle expression.
