Illustration by poul steffensen from the danish novel gjøngehøvdingen by carit etlar which takes place during and after the dano-swedish war in 1657-1658. The vassal oluf brockenhuus and captain kai lykke comes to terms after a previous argument. Kai lykke admits that he has offended oluf brockenhuus by blaming him for a delayed order. But oluf brockenhuus let it slip because he can't fight back now that he has become an old cripple. Oluf brockenhuus (1611-1672) and kai lykke (1625-1699) were real persons but the story is fiction. Date: Original illustration from the 1890s, here reprint from 1909..
