This 1670 engraving by Albert Haelwegh, a Flemish artist, depicts a bust of King Christian V of Denmark. The bust is set against a backdrop of a harbor scene with ships, and two angels above are holding a crown and wreath. This engraving is a testament to the artistic skill of Haelwegh and is an important piece of historical portraiture. The use of light and shadow creates a dramatic effect and elevates Christian V's status, showcasing his power and authority.
