"Fru Ingeborg Kruse knælende for Guds trone. Fra ligprædiken," is a 1647 etching by Anders Ottesen (1620–1655). The artwork is a complex composition depicting Fru Ingeborg Kruse kneeling before God's throne while surrounded by angels and other figures. The outer frame of the etching showcases a grid of coats of arms, highlighting the importance of lineage and status during this era. The scene offers a glimpse into 17th-century religious beliefs and societal norms through a symbolic depiction of a woman's devotion and the power of God. The work, currently held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a valuable example of Danish etching from the Baroque period.
