Portret van Christoph I Fürer von Haimendorf 1595 - 1628

This engraving by Hans Troschel, created between 1595 and 1628, is a portrait of Christoph I Fürer von Haimendorf. The artwork depicts the subject in a three-quarter profile, positioned within an oval frame. The inscription surrounding the portrait details his titles and offices, including "Oberster Feldhauptmann in Ander Zuge Gen Wurtemberg". The engraving's small size, measuring only 155 mm in height and 122 mm in width, suggests it was intended for personal use or as part of a collection. The detailed rendering of Fürer von Haimendorf's clothing, including his fur-trimmed collar and hat, reflects the precision and realism characteristic of engravings from this period. The inscription and Fürer von Haimendorf’s formal attire point to his high social standing and the engraving's potential as a commemorative or propagandistic piece.
