Proveniens
Property of a private Swedish collector.
The Skeel family owned Gammel Estrup.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Scheel family was one of Denmark’s wealthiest.
In 1725, the family founded the county of Scheel with Sostrup Manor, near Grenaa, at its centre. They also owned entailed estate Gammel Estrup.
Possibly comissioned for Crown Equerry Jørgen Scheel (1718-86), who administered Queen Dowager Juliane Marie and Crown Prince Frederik’s court for a time, or his son Christen Scheel (1743-71), who was envoy to Russia in the period 1765-71, played significant roles in the history of Denmark.
