Frederik I 1849 - 1879

This anonymous 19th-century engraving depicts Frederik I, king of Denmark and Norway from 1523 to 1533. The portrait, created between 1849 and 1879, showcases the king in a detailed, expressive style. Frederik I is shown in profile, wearing a richly ornamented fur-lined robe and a distinctive hat with a small horn. He is shown with a dignified expression, holding a scepter in his right hand, which rests on a table with a crown and other regalia. This work, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the popular interest in historical figures during the 19th century.
