This engraving by Coenraet Waumans, created in 1675, depicts Peder Schumacher, Count of Griffenfeld, a prominent Danish statesman during the reign of King Christian V. The portrait features a detailed depiction of Griffenfeld's face and attire, with a focus on his elegant clothing and long, flowing hair. The image is framed within a circular border, a common practice in portraiture of the period. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 17th-century Denmark and showcases the skill of Waumans as a printmaker.
