Gesell, Daniel Cornelius

Daniel Gesell painted small, quiet portraits in the early 1800s—think family members, shopkeepers, and children with steady, no-nonsense expressions. His brush or pencil captured details like a glass trader’s buttons or a child’s tangled hair in *Porträt eines Jungen (Studie)*. These weren’t grand statements; just honest pictures of people who lived in his town. Tap *Bildnis des Glashändlers Johann Spiegelhalder* to meet a man who sold mirrors and glass, forever frozen in the moment he sat for his portrait.
