This 17th-century engraving by Johann Christoph Boecklin depicts Joachim Lütkemann, a German theologian. The portrait, framed by an ornate border, showcases Lütkemann in a dignified pose, his hand resting on a book, emphasizing his role as a scholar. The inscription below the portrait, "Ioachimus Lutkeman Th.Doct Et Superint. Wolferbytii Anno.1651. Generaliss. Aet. 43.", identifies Lütkemann as a Doctor of Theology, Superintendent of Wolfenbüttel, and the General Superintendent, at the age of 43 in 1651. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic style of the period and offers a glimpse into the lives of prominent figures during the Reformation.
