"Den skibbrudne Niels Klim reddes af to Qvamiter i en vidiebaad" (The Shipwrecked Niels Klim is Rescued by Two Qvamiters in a Wicker Boat) is an etching by J.F. Clemens, created between 1786 and 1788. The artwork depicts a scene from the Danish novel "Niels Klims Underjordiske Rejse" (Niels Klim's Subterranean Journey) by Ludvig Holberg. It showcases Niels Klim, a shipwrecked traveler, being rescued by two Qvamiters, a fictional race of subterranean beings, who are pulling him into their boat using a rope. The etching is a fine example of the illustrative art of the late 18th century and can be found at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
