Rasmus Garboe 1784 - 1785

This 1784-1785 engraving by J.F. Clemens depicts Rasmus Garboe, a Danish consul. The portrait, printed in red ink, features a close-up view of Garboe's face, which fills the circular frame, set against a detailed background of a striped pattern. The engraving's title, "Erasmus Garboe Consilar Concist" and Latin inscription at the bottom highlight the subject's status and purpose of the artwork. This print, housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, is a significant piece of portraiture art from the late 18th century and offers valuable insight into Danish history and the art of engraving.
