Portret van Christiana Louise von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel 1717

This 1717 engraving by Martin Bernigeroth is a portrait of Christina Louise, Duchess of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The work depicts the Duchess in an oval frame, her face angled slightly towards the viewer and her hair styled in a fashionable updo. The engraving's subtle shading and detailed rendering of her clothing, especially the fur trim, provide a sense of realism and evoke the elegance of the 18th-century. This work exemplifies Bernigeroth's skill in portraiture, capturing both the likeness and the essence of his subject. The engraving is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
