Bildnis des Augsburger Kupferstecher Gottlieb Rist 1820

This pencil drawing, created by Nikolaus Hoff in 1820, depicts the Augsburger engraver Gottlieb Rist. Hoff's drawing showcases his ability to capture likeness and detail, emphasizing the sitter's features with delicate lines and subtle shading. The work, now housed at the Städel Museum, is a testament to Hoff's talent for portraiture, showcasing a skilled use of light and shadow to convey the sitter's personality and presence. The inscription "Stuttgard 1820" at the bottom of the artwork adds further historical context and indicates the location where the drawing was likely created.
