Kong Christian IV 1756 - 1856

This 19th-century engraving by Wilhelm Heuer depicts King Christian IV of Denmark, a prominent figure in Danish history. The artwork, created between 1756 and 1856, showcases the king in a formal portrait, highlighting his regal attire and presence. The detailed rendering of his clothing, particularly the intricate pattern of his doublet, demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing minute details. Heuer's work, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, offers a glimpse into the artistic conventions and historical significance of portraiture during this era.
