This engraving, created by J.F. Clemens in 1779-1781, depicts a monument dedicated to Christian Sehested. The simple design features a tall, rectangular obelisk with a rounded top, inscribed with Sehested's name. A small map, labeled "Egeden," is situated within the obelisk's structure. The monument rests on a tiered base, set against a minimalist background. This artwork, currently held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the life and legacy of Sehested, a prominent figure in Danish history. The engraving style reflects the artistic trends of the late 18th century, characterized by its clear lines and focus on detail.
