This is a portrait of Mathias von Somer, a German engraver who was active in Nuremberg. The engraving, created by Nicolaus Häublin in 1666, features a detailed depiction of von Somer with a serious expression and long curly hair. The image is rendered in a traditional, realistic style, common in portraiture of the 17th century. The small size of the engraving, 80 mm by 50 mm, suggests it was likely part of a series or collection of portraits.
