Portret van Christoph Fürer von Haimendorf 1739

Johann Wilhelm Windter's 1739 engraving, "Portret van Christoph Fürer von Haimendorf," depicts Christoph Fürer von Haimendorf, a senator of Nuremberg, in a formal portrait style. The subject is dressed in a coat and cravat and has a powdered wig. He is standing, leaning against a pillar, his left hand resting on an ornate table with papers, suggesting his status as a man of learning and importance. This is an excellent example of 18th-century portraiture and offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the time.
