Oluf Rosenkrantz 1753 - 1754

This engraving by Jonas Haas, created between 1753 and 1754, portrays Oluf Rosenkrantz, a prominent Danish nobleman. The image depicts Rosenkrantz standing in an interior setting, likely his library, as indicated by the bookshelves in the background. His attire, featuring a fur-trimmed coat and a powdered wig, reflects the fashionable dress of the 18th century. The presence of a globe and a dog adds to the overall sense of refinement and scholarly pursuits. The engraving, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the life of a significant figure during the Danish Enlightenment.
