"Niels Klim bøjer knæ for Potuanernes fyrste" is an engraving by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1786 and 1788. It depicts the protagonist Niels Klim kneeling before the Potuanian prince, a figure of authority holding an umbrella. This scene is drawn from Ludvig Holberg's satirical novel *Niels Klim's Underground Journey*. The engraving's detailed composition and use of shading create a sense of depth and realism, capturing the fantastical setting of the novel.
