This engraving by J.F. Clemens, titled *Georg Nielsens gravmæle. Efter Wiedewelt*, depicts the tombstone of Georg Nielsen, a Danish scholar. Created between 1748 and 1831, the artwork features a classical-style monument with an inscription in Latin commemorating Nielsen's life and achievements. The central figure, likely a representation of Nielsen, is depicted seated and reading a book, emphasizing his dedication to learning. The inscription, along with the classical style of the monument, highlights the importance of scholarship and the ideals of the Enlightenment era. The piece is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
