Christence Lykke. Mindeblad 1667 - 1669

This 17th century engraving by Albert Haelwegh, titled "Christence Lykke. Mindeblad," is a memorial piece commemorating Christence Lykke. The artwork features a central portrait of Lykke, surrounded by symbolic elements. Two figures on either side, possibly representing virtues, stand near pillars and a banner proclaiming "A true palomshaeter can be no better than this." At the bottom, a variety of coats of arms are displayed, suggesting Lykke's family lineage and alliances. The engraving's intricate design and symbolic language make it a compelling example of Baroque artistic conventions in 17th-century Denmark.
