Portret van Christian Wolff 1710 - 1733

This engraving, "Portret van Christian Wolff" (1710-1733) by Martin Bernigeroth, depicts Christian Wolff, a prominent German philosopher and mathematician. The portrait is a classic example of the Baroque style, featuring a detailed depiction of Wolff’s face, his powdered wig and the elaborate fabric of his clothing. The etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a striking glimpse into the life of a notable scholar from the early 18th century.
