This 1822-1863 portrait by Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling (1812-1863) is a daguerreotype depicting Carl Ernst Bock, a German entomologist. The image showcases Bock in a formal pose, captured in sharp detail thanks to the photographic medium. The portrait's inscription details Bock's achievements in the field of entomology. While daguerreotypes were a relatively new invention at the time, Sichling's work exemplifies the potential of this revolutionary technology for capturing likeness with precision.
