"Christian Frederik" is an engraving by J.F. Clemens, created in 1811. The artwork depicts Christian Frederik, the Prince of Denmark and Norway, in a bust-length portrait. The engraving, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, captures the prince in a formal military attire, highlighting his status and power. Clemens's detailed and realistic style, characteristic of Neoclassical engravings, further enhances the prince's image as a figure of authority. This engraving, typical of the period, emphasizes the importance of official portraiture in representing ruling figures.
