Local | New acquisitions: Fritz von Dardel portrait of John Panzio Tockson

National Museum has acquired a portrait of John Panzio Tockson performed by the artist and the eunuch Fritz von Dardel. In contrast to many other Dardel more caricature and stereotyped representations of Karl XV’s chamber lackey, gives this watercoloured pencil drawing an unusually vivid picture of Tockson as an individual. Here he is seen wearing his characteristic Orientalizing red costume with a fez.
Alongside a career as a military and officer got Fritz von Dardel (1817-1901) the opportunity to train as an artist in Paris around 1840 for Léon Cogniet Eugène Lami. After returning home, became the globetrotter and versatile talented Dardel soon adjutant and a close confidant to Crown Prince Karl (XV). Not least in the artistic field Dardel came to play a major role as the king’s advisor on art purchases and the extension of the National Museum’s collections.
The acquisition has been made possible through funding from the Axel Hirsch Foundation. Nationalmuseum has no own funds to acquire art for, but the collections enriched by gifts as well as private stiftelser- and funds.
