Medalje over Kong Frederik VI 1833

This drawing by Danish artist Erling Eckersberg, created in 1833, depicts two medal designs. One side features a profile portrait of King Frederik VI of Denmark, with the inscription "FREDERICUS VI REX DANIAE." The other side showcases a seated female figure, likely representing a muse or allegory, holding a compass and observing a comet. The inscription reads "ORBITIS SPECULANTER ET ORTATIS NON TRIVSTRA SIGNORUM COMETA VISUS." This drawing provides insight into the artistic practices and commemorative culture surrounding Danish royalty in the 19th century.
