This engraving by Martin Bernigeroth, created between 1731 and 1733, depicts Tobias Sutorius, Edler von Carlstein, a prominent figure in the Holy Roman Empire. Sutorius is shown seated in a formal pose, wearing the attire of a nobleman of his time, a powdered wig and a fine robe. The artist's attention to detail and the dignified portrayal make this a fine example of a Baroque portrait engraving, highlighting the sitter’s social status. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the lives of European nobility in the 18th century.
