Portret van Balthasar Kindermann 1656 - 1676

This etching by Johann-Baptist Paravicini, created between 1656 and 1676, depicts Balthasar Kindermann. The engraving portrays Kindermann in a formal pose, with his hand resting on his chest and a long wig cascading down his shoulders. He is dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, with a ruffled collar and a richly ornamented coat. The oval frame surrounding the portrait features decorative flourishes and the inscription "KURANDORF," suggesting the location of the sitter. This artwork exemplifies the portraiture style popular in 17th-century Europe, where detailed engravings captured the likeness and status of individuals for posterity.
