This etching, titled "Frederik III", is a portrait of the King of Denmark and Norway. It was created in 1653 by Danish artist Mattis Petersen (1614-1676), who is known for his portraits of the Danish Royal Family. The artwork is characterized by fine detail, as seen in the King's regal attire and the elaborate ornamentation surrounding his portrait. The image's stark monochrome palette adds to its formal and dignified feel. The artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
