This 18th century engraving by Leonhard Schlemmer, titled *Portret van Johann Tischberger*, is a portrait of Johann Tischberger, a writer and accountant in Nuremberg. The engraving depicts Tischberger in profile, with his face turned to the right. It is a classic example of 18th-century portraiture, characterized by its simple composition and realistic portrayal of the sitter. The details in the inscription indicate Tischberger's birth and death dates, and that he was a prominent figure in Nuremberg. This small-scale artwork would likely have been used as a commemorative piece for a private collection or as an illustration for a book.
