Jacob Axel Gillberg (Dec.1769-Oct. 1845) was a Swedish portrait miniaturist as well as an army officer. From 1790 he spent some years in Europe traveling between Holland, France, England and Belgium studying under the miniaturist Marie de Latour. It seems that during this period he also enlisted as a Captain in the army becoming a military draughtsman like his father before him.
The ivory registered with DEFRA.
