1. Title: "Gustaf Abraham Piper (1692-1761) - Major General and Governor of Ostrobothnia" 2. Description: This striking portrait, painted by the renowned Swedish artist Gottfried Danhauer (1682-1764), depicts Gustaf Abraham Piper (1692-1761), a major general and governor of Ostrobothnia during the early to mid-18th century. Piper is shown in formal attire, wearing a red coat adorned with gold buttons and lace, a white waistcoat, and a black breeches. A scarlet sash is draped over his left shoulder, signifying his military rank. His hat, with a black band and a white feather, rests on the table next to him. Piper's expression is serious and confident, reflecting his political and military prowess. He is shown in a head-and-shoulders composition, with a plain background that allows the viewer to focus solely on his face and attire. The use of oil on canvas and vibrant colors adds to the painting's richness and depth. Piper was married twice during his life. His first wife was Eleonora Gustaviana Tungel, and his second wife was Baroness Marta Christina Margareta Sture. This portrait may have been commissioned to commemorate one of these marriages or to mark Piper's military achievements. Gottfried Danhauer was a prominent artist in Stockholm during the 18th century, and his works can be found in various museums and art galleries throughout Sweden, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. This portrait is an excellent example of the fashion and art of the time, providing a glimpse into the culture and history of Sweden during the early modern period.
