Portret van Frederik V, koning van Denemarken en Noorwegen 1714 - 1746

This engraving by Martin Tyroff, created between 1714 and 1746, portrays Frederik V, King of Denmark and Norway. The king is depicted in a portrait within a portrait, framed by an oval and held aloft by two figures, likely representing the people he ruled. The use of this compositional device, often seen in Baroque and Rococo art, emphasizes the king's stature and importance. The engraving is a small-scale work, measuring 150 mm in height and 98 mm in width, making it a delicate and intimate portrayal of the monarch.
