Kong Christian V 1693

"Kong Christian V" is a 1693 engraving by Hubert Schaten depicting the Danish King Christian V. The artwork shows the King standing in full regalia, wearing a grand feathered hat and ornate clothing, likely the Order of the Elephant, a prestigious Danish order of chivalry. Schaten, who passed away in 1697, captured the King's stature and power through intricate details and a realistic style. The engraving, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to both the artist's skill and the grandeur of the Danish monarchy in the late 17th century.
