This 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist depicts King Sigvald II of Denmark, also known as King Sigvald the Bearded, wearing a crown and holding a sword. The image is encased in a circular frame with Latin inscription, indicating he reigned from 1047 to 1086, and the date "3.7." which may signify his death date. The engraving is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the visual representation of a Danish monarch of the 11th century. It's currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, making it accessible for art enthusiasts and historians alike.
