"Kong Hans" is a woodcut portrait of King Hans of Denmark, created in 1841 by Danish artist Carl Peter Theodor Rothweiler. The image features a close-up view of the King's face, with a detailed depiction of his armor and fur-trimmed collar. The artwork is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and exemplifies Rothweiler's skill in creating detailed and expressive woodcut portraits. This artwork is a fine example of the 19th-century revival of woodcut printing as an artistic medium.
