This 1650 engraving by Anders Ottesen depicts Johan Brockenhuus, a Danish clergyman, within a complex architectural framework. The artwork features a portrait of Brockenhuus on the left, while the right panel showcases a scene with the Evangelist Matthew writing at a table. The surrounding border is adorned with a series of coats of arms, suggesting the work was created for a funeral sermon. The engraving, with its detailed portrayal of the subject and elaborate ornamentation, exemplifies the artistic conventions of the period and serves as a testament to the importance of religious figures in 17th-century Danish society.
