Richter d.y., David
At the age of fifteen David Richter entered the Goldsmiths Guild in Stockholm as an apprentice, a trade that hade been in the Richter family for generations. It is not known when or under whom Richter studied painting but most likely he was a student of the Dutch artist Martin Mijtens for a period just after his goldsmith training had been completed. During the first years of the 18th century Richter travelled across Europe, mainly Italy, where he studied and worked as a miniaturist. He returned to Stockholm after 1710 where he continued his career as a miniaturist for the rest of his life. There are only a few larger paintings made by Richter, all of them are portraits and executed during the late 1690s. His style is Dutch-inspired, performed in an elegant manner with a special detail to faces. Troligen utbildad hos Ehrenstrahl, verksam i Sverige till 1696, därefter i Dresden och Wien.
