"Kejser Karl den Femte" is a 1916 etching by Danish artist J.A. Jerichau (II). The artwork, which depicts a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, is a prime example of Jerichau's late style. The artist, known for his Expressionist and Modernist approach to portraiture, used bold lines and simplified forms to convey the emperor's strength and presence. The artwork is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a significant piece in the museum's collection of Danish art.
