Portret van Rudolph Gerhart Behrmann 1786

This is a portrait of Rudolph Gerhard Behrmann, a preacher at the main church of St. Peter in Hamburg, created in 1786 by Johann Christian Gottfried Fritzsch. The etching depicts Behrmann in profile, wearing a large ruffled collar and a dark coat. It is framed by an oval border with a decorative scrollwork design and has a classic, elegant feel that was popular during the Neoclassical period in art history. This work exemplifies the skill of Fritzsch, who is known for his refined linework, capturing the subtle details of Behrmann's features. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
