Omslag til Nytårsvers 1806 - 1810

"Omslag til Nytårsvers" (1806-1810) by Oluf Olufsen Bagge (1780-1836) is a two-sided engraved illustration depicting a group of figures in a circle on one side, and a single figure with wings on the other. The circular image frames are set on a pale blue background and framed by borders of stylized plants. This work exemplifies a Neoclassical style with its emphasis on symmetry and decorative elements. It is a fine example of Danish graphic art from the early 19th century.
