Portret van Johann Konrad Appenzeller 1790 - 1817

This engraving by Johann Heinrich Lips, created between 1790 and 1817, depicts Johann Konrad Appenzeller in profile. The portrait showcases Appenzeller's austere demeanor, with his gaze directed to the left and a serious expression. Lips's use of shading creates a sense of depth, emphasizing the sitter's prominent features. The inscription below identifies Appenzeller as a "Pfarrer und Schuldiener in Bad," indicating his roles as a pastor and schoolmaster in a local community. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Lips's skill in portraiture and offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent individual from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
