This small, detailed engraving by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1770 and 1772, features a profile portrait of Homer, the ancient Greek poet, framed by a laurel wreath and a lyre. The composition includes two putti flanking the central image, adding a playful element to the otherwise austere design. "Oval reliefmedaillon med Homers hoved" is a fine example of Neoclassical art, a movement that celebrated classical Greek and Roman art and literature. The print is held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
