Felicitas von Eckh (-Freyberg) 1553

Hanns Lautensack’s 1553 engraving, "Felicitas von Eckh (-Freyberg)," portrays an older woman, dressed in the fashion of the time. The subject's stern expression and the inscription "Anno etatis sue, LXI" (in the year of her age, 61) emphasize her age and wisdom. The background includes an architectural structure and a landscape, likely representing the sitter's status and place within society. This work exemplifies the artist’s skill in capturing likeness and detail, making it a valuable historical document and an important example of German Renaissance portraiture.
