"Tiden afklædt" Nr. 3, a satirical engraving by an anonymous artist, depicts a scene of a man in a hooded robe being burned at the stake. The man is surrounded by flames, and a figure with a lantern stands to the right. This etching is a part of a larger satirical series from 1787 that satirizes the events and social injustices of the time. The series was created anonymously and is often attributed to the influential Danish satirist, Johan Ludvig Holstein. The work is considered a significant example of 18th-century Danish satire.
