Portret van D. Ernst Matner 1786 - 1844

This portrait of D. Ernst Matner was created by Johann Christian Benjamin Gottschick, a German artist who worked in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The artwork, executed in a realistic style, captures Matner in a formal pose, wearing a suit and a powdered wig. The portrait, likely commissioned by Matner himself, was likely intended to be a keepsake, capturing the likeness of a prominent individual. The portrait is a fine example of the portraiture style popular in Germany during the late 18th century, emphasizing realism and a classical aesthetic.
