Portret van Adolph Magnus von Hoym 1713

This etching by Martin Bernigeroth, created in 1713, portrays Adolph Magnus von Hoym, a prominent figure in the court of Augustus the Strong. The engraved portrait depicts von Hoym in a three-quarter length pose, adorned with a flowing wig and an elaborate cloak draped over armor. The meticulous details of the engraving, evident in the rendering of the textiles and von Hoym's features, showcase Bernigeroth's skill as an artist. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the fashion and social standing of the elite during the early 18th century.
