Portrait of Vita Bering., Johan Hörner, between 1734 and 1763

The experts at bruun rasmussen described this as a portrait of vita bering (c. 1756-1830), daughter of the scholar vitus pedersen bering (1617-1675). His daughter vita actually lived from 1653 to 1730 (about 100 years earlier than the dates given by bruun rasmussen). Hörner may have painted her while she was alive, but it seems unlikely, given that he only arrived in denmark in 1734. Object Type: painting. Date: between 1734 and 1763. Dimensions: height: 76 cm (29.9 in); width: 63 cm (24.8 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unknown. Johan Hörner - Portræt af Vita Bering
