This engraving by Andreas Flint (1768-1824) depicts two medallions. The first shows a profile portrait of Peter Frederik Suhm (1728-1798), a Danish historian, and the second depicts a classical temple with the inscription “APERUIT”. This piece is an example of Neoclassical art and was created in 1797. The medallions likely commemorate Suhm's historical achievements. The print is currently in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
