Johann Baptist von Lampi the Elder, a prominent Austrian portrait painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, painted this portrait of Ignaz von Born, a renowned Austrian mineralogist and metallurgist, around 1790. The painting, characterized by a realistic style, captures Born's likeness with meticulous detail, highlighting his sharp features and intelligent gaze. The dark background further emphasizes Born’s presence as a subject worthy of a formal portrait.
