This 1666 engraving by Albert Haelwegh depicts Tage Thott, a Danish nobleman, framed by a wreath and flanked by two figures. To the left, a female figure holds a spear and shield, while a warrior to the right holds a spear and a shield emblazoned with a repeated image. Above, a winged angel blows a trumpet, suggesting a celestial theme. The engraving is an example of Baroque portraiture, capturing the sitter's noble status with allegorical figures and an ornate architectural background. It is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
