Description
The experts at Bruun Rasmussen used the title Admiral Wriesberg i uniform, but that was rather problematic. The Danish Navy knows only one admiral Wrisberg, and he was born 14 years after Juel's death, so he is ruled out. The Wrisberg in question would be Johan Peter David Wrisberg, born in 1771. The painting of him was exhibited in 1909 by Kunstforeningen (The Art Association) in Copenhagen. Here it was named Admiral Wrisberg, but added the information fhv. Gouvernør paa Guinea­kysten (former governor on the Guinea Coast). And that brings us to Johan Peter David, who served two times (1795-1799 and 1802-1807) as governor of the Danish colonies on the Guinea Coast. Whether he was ever an admiral is highly dubious, he more probably had an army rank. Catalog of the 1909 exhibition at kunstbib.dk.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1802, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
