This engraving by Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816) depicts Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Bishop of Münster. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is presented in a classical oval frame. The detailed rendering of Galen’s attire and facial features demonstrates Vinkeles’ skill in the art of portraiture. The inscription below the portrait identifies the subject as “Christoph Bernhard van Galen, Bishop of Münster” and includes the dates 1604-1678, signifying the Bishop’s lifespan.
