EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil on canvas portrait depicts Niklas Keder (1659-1735), an influential figure in early-mid 18th century Swedish finance and coinage. Keder, also known as Nils Keder or Nicolas Keder, served as the Master of the Mint in Stockholm from 1697 until his death in 1735. The portrait was created by the renowned German painter Georg Engelhard Schröder (1660-1725). Schröder expertly captures the serious and authoritative demeanor of Keder, who is shown wearing the traditional attire of a Swedish official. The richly textured fabric of his robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery, contrasts beautifully with the plain background, drawing the viewer's focus to Keder's face. The artist masterfully employs the use of color and shadow to create depth and dimension, further enhancing the portrait's lifelike quality. As a numismatist and expert in coinage, Keder would have been intimately familiar with the intricacies of currency production. This expertise is reflected in the prominent display of various coins in the portrait, which not only serve as a visual representation of Keder's profession but also add an element of historical authenticity to the painting. This portrait, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of an important historical figure during the early-mid 18th century. The meticulous craftsmanship of Schröder's painting, combined with the significance of its subject, make it an invaluable addition to the museum's collection and a must-see for anyone interested in Swedish heritage, finance, or the art of portraiture.
