Portret van Georg Stephan Widmann 1726

This 1726 engraving by Georg Lichtensteger depicts Georg Stephan Widmann, a prominent figure in the church. The portrait captures Widmann in a formal pose, his hand resting on an open book and his face turned slightly towards the viewer. The detailed rendering of his attire, including his elaborate wig and ruff, reflects the fashionable styles of the period. The inscription beneath the portrait provides further information about Widmann's life and achievements. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact and an excellent example of portraiture from the 18th century.
