Portret van Georg Franz Hoffmann 1793

This 1793 engraving by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock is a portrait of Georg Franz Hoffmann, a man with a powdered wig and a serious expression. The portrait is executed in a simple, yet elegant style, typical of the Neoclassical period, and is presented in a circular frame with a handwritten inscription beneath it. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This small, but detailed, work is an example of portraiture at the turn of the 19th century.
