Portret van Marcus Herz 1784

Friedrich Grögory's "Portret van Marcus Herz" (1784) is an engraving depicting the physician Marcus Herz in profile. The artwork features Herz in a formal, powdered wig and a simple, light-colored jacket. He is positioned within an oval frame, with a serpent coiled around a branch of leaves beneath him. The fine detail and elegant composition of the engraving exemplify the Neoclassical style that was popular in the late 18th century. This piece, while not widely known, is an important example of Grögory's work, a talented artist whose career was tragically cut short due to his early death.
