Portret van Johann Moritz Hoffmann 1711 - 1713

Johann Kenckel's "Portret van Johann Moritz Hoffmann" (1711-1713), is a striking black and white etching depicting the subject in an oval frame. The subject wears a powdered wig and an elaborate lace collar, indicative of Baroque fashion, while his stoic expression suggests his status as a figure of importance. Kenckel's masterful use of shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the intricate details of Hoffmann's attire and features. This artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Kenckel's skill in portraiture during the early 18th century.
