Portret van Johann Sigismund Holzschuher von Aspach und Harrlach auf Thalheim 1745

This 1745 engraving by Georg Martin Preissler depicts Johann Sigismund Holzschuher von Aspach und Harrlach auf Thalheim, a prominent figure from the region. The portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Holzschuher in a formal setting, holding a document. He is dressed in elaborate attire, including a powdered wig, and stands confidently against a backdrop that suggests a grand interior space. This print, measuring 482 mm x 333 mm, is an excellent example of 18th-century portraiture and provides a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and powerful individuals of that era.
