This anonymous engraving from 1646 depicts Oluf Hunger, King of Denmark. The artwork is a bust-length portrait of the King, presented in a circular frame, surrounded by text in Latin. Oluf is shown wearing a crown and armor, holding a staff in his right hand. The engraving is a powerful representation of a historical figure and a testament to the skill of the anonymous artist.
