This engraving, created by J.F. Clemens in 1805-1806, portrays Chr. Colbiørnsen. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a detailed and realistic portrait of Colbiørnsen, emphasizing his formal attire and medals. The use of a simple oval frame, etched onto a textured background, adds a classic touch to the artwork.
