Portret van Gottfried Winckler 1766

"Portret van Gottfried Winckler" is a 1766 engraving by Johann Friedrich Bause, a German artist known for his portraits. The artwork, measuring 186 mm x 112 mm, presents a bust-length portrait of Gottfried Winckler, a prominent figure of the time. The engraving depicts Winckler within an oval frame set against a dark background, showcasing his features and attire in detail. This piece exemplifies Bause's skill in capturing likeness and conveying the sitter's personality through a subtle yet effective use of lines and shading. The inscription "Et sibi et aliis" (for himself and others) suggests Winckler's ambition and perhaps also his status as a scholar or public figure.
