Karel van Mander III, school of, 17th century
Purchased by “Museet på Koldinghus” in June 2013.
Nobleman in a yellow silk dress in a park with his dog. Presumably Friedrich III duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (1597–1659), who was a keen gardener. In the park can be seen large greenhouses and two noblemen on a path. Unsigned. Oil on panel. 35×26 cm.
The duke's mother was Princess Augusta, daughter of King Frederik II and sister to King Christian IV. The dog in the painting looks very much like the Danish breed “Broholmer”.
