A Noble Man of Denmark in 1626

by Thomas Jefferys

"A Noble Man of Denmark in 1626" is an interesting historical representation of Denmark from 1757 engraved by Thomas Jefferys, during which time the Thirty Years’ War was taking place in Europe.

Witness a piece of history by capturing this beautiful representation of a Danish aristocrat. It can be seen here that this engraving is a transitional style from the Renaissance era to the Baroque era, representing the stiffness expected from an elegant gentleman in the 17th century. With its sharp copper plate engraving style, this artwork captures the delicate textures of lace, wool, and leather.
