Peter R. Saabye 1767 - 1824

This print by Andreas Flint, created between 1767 and 1824, is a portrait of Peter R. Saabye, a Danish actor. The engraving shows Saabye in profile, with his hair styled in a fashionable manner for the time. He wears a jacket with a cravat, indicating his status as a respected member of society. The print is likely a memento of Saabye's career, intended to honor his contributions to the Danish theater. This piece is an excellent example of portraiture within printmaking during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
