Vier portretten van Zwitserse politici 1768 - 1817

Johann Heinrich Lips created this engraved portrait of four prominent Swiss politicians in 1768. The etching, measuring only 154mm x 119mm, depicts four men arranged in an oval shape. This small-scale artwork is a significant example of portraiture in the 18th century, and it is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of Swiss politics during this period. The artwork is a testament to Lips's mastery of engraving, with detailed lines capturing the personalities and attire of these influential figures.
