CheffinsSigned and dated lower left: Malet af [painted by] J Juel København d. 24. Juli 1772 (on the open book). Jens Juel was certainly one of, if not the first, Danish artist to rise to international fame during his lifetime. He was the most sought-after portraitist in his homeland of Denmark, receiving numerous commissions from the royal family, the aristocracy, and the upper classes. Following his training at the Hamburg studio of Johann Michael Gehrmann, in around 1760 Juel moved on to the Copenhagen Academy, which had been founded just a few years previously. He then embarked on an eight year Grand Tour which led him through many of Europe's great artistic centres including Vienna, Paris, Venice, and Rome, where he also made the acquaintance of Pompeo Batoni. Juel arrived back in Copenhagen in 1780 and was immediately appointed royal court painter. He was also offered a professorship at the Copenhagen Academy and became its director for two periods. He also ran a studio with numerous employees. Although the sitter of this portrait makes an open and friendly impression, he was in fact a very colourful personality. Christophe Battier was born in Switzerland in 1733 and naturalised as an English citizen in 1760. Ten years later he is documented in Copenhagen working as an accountant for the Danish East India Company. In 1783, newspapers in Copenhagen report his bankruptcy: His shares and possessions were sold and Battier was forced to flee the country. Battier finally shot himself in the gardens of Tuileries Palace in Paris in 1786, apparently after losing his last remaining funds in the lottery. In happier times in Denmark, Christophe Battier married Anna Elisabeth Storp, a burgher's daughter from Copenhagen, in 1772. A portrait of her by Jens Juel is today housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (inv. no. KMS3634). This portrait of her husband is dated 1772, which indicates that it may have been commissioned on occasion of their wedding.

Leo SpikJens JUEL Funen, 1745 - Copenhague, 1802 Portrait d''homme au bonnet Huile sur toile Trace de signature en bas à droite Portrait of a man with a hat, oil on canvas, by J. Juel h: 48 w: 39 cm Expositions : ''Le siècle d''or de la peinture danoise. Une collection française'', Roubaix, La Piscine, 12 octobre 2013 - 12 janvier 2014, Le Havre, MuMa, 8 février - 12 mai 2014, Paris, 2013, p. 88, n°28, repr. et p. 212 Commentaire : Jens Juel est un des rares artistes danois du XVIIIe siècle. Cosmopolite formé à Hambourg et voyageant à Rome et Paris, il jette les bases du futur Âge d''or avec son contemporain Abildgaard. Notre artiste est un peintre complet comme l''atteste le portrait de la famille Ryberg (1797, Copenhague, Statens Museum for Kunst), morceau de bravoure prouvant que nous avons à faire à un paysagiste, un peintre animalier et enfin à un brillant portraitiste qui annonce le XIXe siècle.

Bruun Rasmussen AuctioneersGeneralfiskal Peter Uldall og hustru Antoinette Uldall (1741-1804). Usign. Olie på lærred. (doublerede) Hver 37 x 30. (2) Tak til Museumsinspektør Kasper Monrad for sit velvillige og kyndige bidrag i bestemmelse af portrætterne. Peter Uldall (1743-1798) tog juridisk embedseksamen som 20-årig i 1763, - allerede som 29-årig i 1769 blev han udnævnt til advokat med møderet for Højesteret. Særligt kendt blev han, da Caroline Mathilde, efter "Hofrevolutionen" i 1772 udpegede ham som sin forsvarer. Snart herefter pålagde inkvisitionen ham tillige at være defensor for J. F. Struensee. Et hverv han udfyldte med dygtighed og skaffede ham stort ry og senere velstand. Samme år giftede han sig med Antoinette Hansen med hvem han fik 3 sønner.

Sotheby'sJens Juel fertigte von vorliegendem charmanten Porträt drei Wiederholungen an; das bei Poulsen erwähnte Porträt befindet sich heute im Fuglsang Kunstmuseum. Poulsens Identifizierung muß aufgrund neuerer Forschungen verifiziert werden, handelt es sich bei der Dargestellten vermutlich nicht um Sophie Hesevig Agathe Gyldenstierne Sehested, geb. Kaas, 1774-1833, sondern um Frederikke Kaas Baronesse Loevenskiold (1787-1874) oder Susanna Kaas, vereiratete Schaffalitzky.
