Portret van een man, mogelijk een zelfportret van Christian Gottlieb Werner 1755 - 1789

This etching, "Portret van een man, mogelijk een zelfportret van Christian Gottlieb Werner," depicts a man, possibly the artist Christian Gottlieb Werner himself, wearing a turban. The artwork is thought to date from 1755 to 1789, the year of Werner’s death. The printmaker’s use of lines and shading lends a sense of realism to the portrait. The style of the portrait reflects the influence of the Rococo era. Werner was a renowned printmaker, known for his precise etchings. This portrait is likely a self-portrait, as Werner often incorporated his likeness into his works. The artist's signature, "C.G. Werner fecit," is visible at the bottom left corner of the piece.
