Kronprins Frederik som barn, senere Frederik VI 1747 - 1808

This small, round relief sculpture, created by Danish artist Daniel Adzer in the late 18th century, depicts a young Frederik VI, later King of Denmark, in profile. The work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Adzer's talent for capturing youthful features with a sense of formality, suggesting the future ruler's potential. The stark contrast between the white relief and dark background highlights the subject's presence and emphasizes his regal bearing, even at a young age. This piece, a testament to Adzer's skill in portraiture, is a valuable historical artifact offering a glimpse into the early life of one of Denmark's most prominent monarchs.
