Portret van Christoph von Teuffenbach 1590 - 1611

This engraved portrait of Christoph von Teuffenbach was created by Hans Sibmacher between 1590 and 1611. The artwork features a close-up view of Teuffenbach's face, adorned with a prominent mustache and beard. His clothing, including his ornate armor, is depicted in detail. The oval frame surrounding the portrait is embellished with decorative scrolls and the inscription "Christoph Freyherr zu Teuffenbach Kriegsob in Vngern". The Latin phrase at the bottom, "Virtute duce comite fortuna", translates to "With virtue as your leader, fortune is your companion." The intricate detail and inscription suggest this portrait was likely commissioned to celebrate Teuffenbach’s military achievements.
