Johann Georg Sulzer 1774

This 1774 engraving by Anton Graff, a leading German portraitist of the late 18th century, depicts Johann Georg Sulzer, a Swiss philosopher and writer. Graff's meticulous etching captures Sulzer's likeness in sharp detail, showing his profile and the texture of his clothing. The work, which measures just under 12 inches in height, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of the period and the prominent figures of the Enlightenment.
