This allegorical portrait, created by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman in 1807-1828, depicts Sebald Fulco Johan Rau. The artwork is an engraving, with the subject framed in an oval and surrounded by a halo of stars. Below Rau, a book and a chalice symbolize his role as a scholar and theologian. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of portraiture that utilizes symbolic elements to depict a person's profession and achievements.
