Carl Gustaf Gillberg
Carl Gustaf Gillberg is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.
Carl Gustaf Gillberg made small portraits of 18th-century Swedes in watercolor or metal. His “Per Adolf Hall” shows a man in a powdered wig with sharp lines and delicate color. The other two works, “Luutnantti Jacob Gillberg” and “Kenttämarsalkka Johan August Meijerfeldt,” are etched metal badges or plaques. They belong to the same quiet, precise style you’ll see in Swedish profile portraits from the 1700s. Tap “Per Adolf Hall” to see the sitter’s details up close.
