This 1791 engraving by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock, titled "Portret van Christian Friedrich Glück", is a fine example of portraiture from the late 18th century. Depicting Christian Friedrich Glück in profile, the work is characterized by its detailed rendering of the sitter's features and attire, including his powdered wig and formal coat. The inscription below the portrait identifies the subject and provides his birth year. This intimate portrait, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, highlights the skill of Bock in capturing a likeness with meticulous detail and a sense of realism.
